During the open meeting, 30 minutes will be allotted for members of the public to put questions and their views to members of the committee.

Chair of the Consultation, Diversity and Outreach Committee, R. David Muir, said:

"The work of the Consultation, Diversity and Outreach Committee is vital in building effective partnerships with London’s diverse communities.

We want a police service which has the confidence and trust of their local communities and it is our intention to have many of our meetings in community venues to facilitate local participation and greater understanding of the work of the Metropolitan Police Authority and its Consultation, Diversity and Outreach Committee. Our objective is to make London a safe and enjoyable place to live and work."
