Solystopia: The Commons
One platform for every ward in England, open only to the people who live there. Organise and decide what happens on your street — with no feed, no ads and no one selling your attention.
No committee to join. No one to ask.
From your postcode to a vote in your ward, in one sitting.
Read the ten-clause charter
- Today
Find your ward.
- Search all 6,834 wards in England by postcode or name
- Join the one you live in — one ward per person, always
- Read its noticeboard, proposals and events straight away
- Five minutes later
Prove you live there.
- Scan a UK driving licence and a selfie — no one to ask
- If the address is inside the ward, you are a resident at once
- We keep the answer, never the licence, the photo or the postcode
- From then on
Decide what happens where you live.
- One verified resident, one vote on every proposal
- The same nine boards in every ward, from Urgent to The Record
- Sponsors can advertise to a ward, never buy a vote in it
Who pays, and for what
Free to live in. Advertisers buy a card, never a vote.
Residents never pay. Founders and businesses can advertise to a ward — one card, the same size at any price. That advertising is what pays for The Commons.
Free to join, free to vote. Nothing to upgrade to.
Verification uses a UK driving licence. We keep whether it passed and which ward — never the document.
What residents get
- One vote on every proposal in your ward
- Post on all nine boards
- Events, noticeboard and casework
- A feed ordered by time and distance, never engagement
- No ads, no profiling, no tracking
- No notifications that exist to bring you back
- Leave, or move ward once every 30 days
- Your ward's decisions, readable by anyone
Your ward is already on the map. It is waiting for you.
Every ward opens the moment its first resident joins. Be the one who opens yours — then invite the street, and start deciding things together.
Free for residents. Always.
The ten clauses of the charter: Locality, Chronology, Consent, Standing, Advertising, No surveillance, Exit, Recovery, Interruption, Legibility.
