Peoples Question Time is a twice-yearly meeting of the London Assemblys 25 members. This months meeting will be held at Hendon Police College on 23 November. The PQT text service has been built by Incentivated. The system integrates the companys online mobile marketing platform, iris, with the PQT administration team, managing the ticketing process and questions to the panel.
“The Mayor of London and the London Assembly have shown once again that they know how to interact with ordinary people, by offering a choice of channels through which the general public can communicate with them” says Incentivated Managing Director, Jonathan Bass. “We expect a considerable increase in the volume of questions and issues put to the Mayor and London Assembly at the next meeting. Text messaging makes it easy and accessible for all Londoners.”
