About

Why this website exists and what it's here to do.

Background

This website began as an independent test project built by a civic-minded individual. It was not affiliated with any government institution, council, or political party. Motivated by the difficulty of accessing clear and timely public information, it was created to help people more easily navigate the complex and often confusing world of local politics.

The site’s original aim was to experiment with making unbiased local political information accessible to everyday residents — especially those who don’t usually follow politics. In 2025, the project was formally transferred to Drofmada Ltd, a UK-based company committed to transparency, community tools, and democratic engagement. Drofmada continues to develop and maintain the project in the same spirit of openness and non-partisanship.

Primary Aims

  1. Improve and encourage informed local debate.
  2. Support greater transparency in local governance.
  3. Help increase local voter turnout.

Scope

The project currently focuses on Eastleigh Borough Council in Hampshire. However, because some decisions affecting Eastleigh (like highways and education) are made at the county level by Hampshire County Council, the site includes county-level information across Hampshire.

Expansion to other boroughs and districts in Hampshire is possible if there's local interest. Parish councils are not yet in scope — but we’d welcome volunteers or contributors who would like to help make that happen.

Data Sources

We use the following open data sources to ensure accuracy and avoid duplication:

Meeting Recordings

Public meeting recordings are provided by volunteers who record and share these sessions to increase accessibility and awareness.
