Andrea from Viva Vauxhall has rung Democratic Services to request to speak at the planning meeting for the Octave on 24 March, and was told that everybody who requested to speak at the meeting will be allowed to do so.
They also said that the position on the agenda depended on how many people had requested to speak, so the more people do, the further The Octave moves up the agenda.
This is the number to ring if you wish to speak: 020 7926 2183; quick and easy, no fuss (only an out-of office reply to my e-mail so far).
You don't have to say much, just one sentence will do - and you can still make a real difference!
