Follow a street, an organisation or a committee

Every page on this site has a feed. Follow one and you'll hear when that street, organisation or committee turns up anywhere in the record — a planning application, a committee paper, a grant, a consultation.

A feed is a web address your reader checks for you. If you don't have one, Feedly, NetNewsWire and Inoreader are free and take a minute to set up. Paste the feed address in and it does the watching.

Everything at once

The whole record as one feed — every new document, application, consultation and grant as it arrives. This is the one most useful to journalists.

Why not email?

Email alerts and a weekly digest are coming, and they'll need an address so we can send them. Feeds don't, so they come first: the fastest way to be told about your own street shouldn't require handing anyone your details.
