Public consultations decide things that last decades. They also run to hundreds of pages and close in six weeks.
This site tracks the ones that are open, and takes the documents apart so you can find the part that affects you: split into real sections, tagged by theme and place, fully searchable, every result citing its page in the official document. The formal response route and your councillors sit one click away.
Some are fully searchable here. The rest carry dates, documents and the official response route while we work through them.
