We want you, the capital’s sharpest citizens, to shape Time Out’s manifesto. That way we will be representing real Londoners rather than well-financed interest groups. Tell us what you think here and help shape London’s future with Time Out.
Here are some of the ideas we’ve already received:
‘Bring in FREE wi-fi across London. The internet is the greatest tool of knowledge – it should be free for everyone, not just coffee shop dwellers.
Bring down the price of cab hire – it’s a rip-off.
Change all traffic light bulbs to LED ones – huge savings can be made. Good for the environment too.’Rumpleproofskin
‘Make recycling fun. And profitable. Create effigies of Boris Johnson, Red Ken and the other one. Place them in a roped-off area in the local tip. Charge £1 to be able to fling bottles at our target hate figure. Then sweep the glass up. Put the shards into a windmill. And grind them into builders sand, using windpower. It would raise funds and the gaiety of the capital.’ Nick Booth
It might have been the large brandy I took to keep out the cold but as I stepped on stage at the Carling Academy last night - half way through Time Out’s On The Up gig - I felt a definite rush of enthusiasm from a large and vociferous crowd that had come to see three new bands rather than a bloke with a ‘vote for me’ sticker. There was cheering and clapping even, especially when I brought up our key manifesto commitment to keep London’s venues open. Other candidates talk about London’s vital financial sector but Time Out readers know that London’s cultural endeavours are just as important.
