Disclaimer

All technology encodes ways of seeing and this tool is no exception. Do expect that any and all data collection and visualisation are inherently reductive and subjective. The stories behind every decision and conversation at council can never be fully captured in any written minutes or agenda. We do our best with what we have.

Do use this tool as a starting point to reach out to the councillors and officers mentioned instead of a means to avoid them.
