A new community information pilot scheme is launched in London’s Square Mile

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 9, 2010 -- This scheme is designed to interact with the local populations and will allow people to respond to the City of London Police with any questions or feedback on the messages as well as being informed of meetings where local residents can have their say on issues that affect them.
