- It says summaries wait for official minutes, and each point links to the document it came from.
Field notes
OpenCouncil describes a deliberately delayed workflow: it waits for official minutes rather than treating meeting agendas as a record of decisions. Its summaries are meant to link each point to the underlying document, and the site also presents postcode lookup for ward representatives, committee roles, attendance and declared interests. Several overview sections still display “Loading” in the extracted homepage, so the available evidence does not confirm the current depth of populated council data.
