Community participation 6 To emphasise, this is a rough estimate as, in many cases, overall figures do not seem to be available. Where this was the case we extrapolated from the total number of a certain type of structure (Foundation Hospital, tenant management organisation, electoral ward) and the typical composition of its governance arrangements. 7 The full list includes: contacting a local councillor; contacting a Member of Parliament; contacting a public official working for a local council; contacting a public official working for part of central government; contacting a public official working for the Greater London Assembly or National Assembly for Wales; contacting a member of the Greater London Assembly or National Assembly for Wales; attending a public meeting or rally; taking part in a public demonstration or protest; and signing a petition.
