Everything below is an example.It shows what Exmouth Littleham could look like. None of it is real, and all of it disappears the moment the first person joins.

Reading a ward needs no account. Posting in one does, because a ward is people, not traffic.
Main road closed northbound — burst water main by the shops
The main road, by the shops
Water company on site since about seven. Buses diverting round the back. If you are on the school run allow an extra twenty minutes. I will close this post when the road reopens.
The community hall has a dry back room sitting empty four days a week. Proposal is a shared tool library — drill, tile cutter, pressure washer, ladder, strimmer — borrowed on a deposit, stored on a rack we build ourselves.
Cost below is the rack, the starting tools second-hand, and a year of insurance. Objections stay published: if you think this competes with a local hire shop, say so here and it goes in the record.
The ask
Fund a shared tool library for Exmouth Littleham from the ward's sponsorship money, and ask the hall for the back room.
Cost
£1,420

Objection — The insurance quote looks light for power tools. Get a second quote before anyone votes.
Objection — Nobody has asked the hall yet. Order of operations is wrong.
Planning application — nine houses on the old depot site
Consultation closes in eighteen days. The access is proposed onto the bend, which is the bit worth reading before anyone argues about the houses themselves. Put the reference number in the title so the next person can follow it.
A 4 kW system on a south-east facing roof, fitted last September. Here is what it generated, what we used ourselves, what the bills did — and the part nobody puts in the brochure: the inverter failed in February and took five weeks to replace.
Ladder wanted for a Saturday — gutters on a two-storey
Three metre or better. Happy to collect and return the same day, and happy to do yours while I am up there.

Decided: planting on the verge by the junction
Proposed by a resident, supported 51, objected 6, abstained 4. The objections were about sightlines at the junction and were resolved by moving the planting six metres back. Paid for from the ward's sponsorship money. Looked after by whoever turns up on the first Sunday of the month.
