London Hydro has only one owner: YOU, the citizens of London.

We seek public opinion to engage city council in the collaborative vision of the people.  This collaboration will therefore be a true representation of what the citizens wish for the future of the London Hydro which belongs to them.

Submissions should be received no later than Wednesday September 3rd, 2008.

When writing your submission you may wish to take into account this very important article:
