Our Principles

We provide a platform for citizens and councils to share an accurate, unedited record - nothing more, nothing less.

Ambiguity breeds suspicion.

Facts create clarity.

By providing factual information and access to it, a community can act together as a positive force. 

We hope to reduce isolation, intimidation and fear.

Communities are powerful forces for positive change.

We're not here to glorify citizens or demonise councillors.

We provide a factual record.  

We're not here to create a narrative.

Recordings must be made openly, respectfully, and without disruption.

Our aim is not conflict, but contribution.

Peaceful behaviour is powerful.​

UK law encourages openness.  Councils may lack the resources to provide recordings - citizens can bridge that gap.

The Openness of Local Government Bodies Regulations 2014 in England allows us to record.

Life as a public official isn't easy. 

By fostering a culture of accountability, we can attract people who serve with integrity. People our communities are proud of.  People who are proud to serve.
