Personal experience Jean-Marc O.
My children’s school is next door; parents have raised it at every meeting.

How this is calculated. Only statements (arguments, concerns, alternatives, suggestions, common ground) can be weighed, once per person, as agree, disagree or unsure. Shares are of the people who responded to that statement — not of residents, and not of everyone on the platform. Popularity is not truth: a statement with broad agreement can still be wrong, and a minority concern can be decisive. Nothing here is a vote or a decision. Full methodology
Proposal
- Proposed solution
- Apply what we learnt on the Rhône: fewer benches, more shade, rota from day one.
