When an issue requires monitoring, a request for information, or public assessment of an authority’s work.
Open route
Common situations
Road, water, school, or local clinic
Start with the local decision, budget, responsible authority, and written reply, not a broad judgement of the situation.
Collective residents' appeal
Frame one checkable question, the signatory list, and the official reply expected.
Monitoring or information request is needed
Separate an information request, assessment of authority performance, and a demand to change a decision.
Before you start
- Frame one verifiable question or request.
- Collect the facts, dates, and documents supporting the appeal.
- Check which mechanism fits the situation and its time limits.
