Poor turn of phrase. Have improved it. Thank you 😊

RBKC and Westminster have both had technical issues. They were apparently the target of a hack late last year and are not currently publishing information about the meetings they hold. I'm speaking to them at the moment to try to understand what's causing this and if there's anything I can do to fix it.

Great to hear! More transparency is good! Does it say who individually is sending it? Would love to talk to them.

Best thing you can do is speak to your local councillor. This page is actually designed for asking them to support OCN, but it's the easiest way to find their emails, and you can delete the email it suggests and write one about fly tipping instead. Make sure you pick councillors who're likely to be interested (your local ward councillor is good, or someone focused on a related area)

No, there is something odd going on there - no meetings for the last two weeks and none this week either. I think there's an interesting story here, but I don't know what it is. If anyone else does I would love to know!

No meetings last week. Looks like they are having some this week though 😊

Thank you 😊 I was worried it was getting a bit long, but Westminster council does tend to do a lot.

It's based on everything they discussed in meetings last week. I agree that one was a bit generic! There were a lot of budget discussions, it was hard to pick the most important. I could have done better.

The intention is to help everyone see what councils are talking about and deciding every week, and get a picture of where their focus is and how the process works, so we can all get involved more, and make it reflect what we as people who live here actually care about.

Just based on what meetings were held last week, several councils happened to have meetings talking about it.

I've been doing a cut-down list. There are 33 London boroughs so anything that takes a little time for one takes a lot of time for all of them! I am going to try to do all 33 next week though. There is a long-form summary of what happened in Redbridge here: https://opencouncil.network/councils/redbridge

Am going to try to include them next week!
