Guidelines for a good issue

• A local issue (we'll cover national ones separately - though do talk about them!).
• Possible for somebody to record agreement/disagreement/no opinion.
• If forward looking, the statement should argue for a specific change to current or planned policy (e.g. "increase funding to provide a service", not simply "provide a service")
• If backward looking, the statement should not aportion blame, but simply describe an alternative decision.
• A proper sentence, with a leading capital and a full stop.
• If the issue mentions a public body, check it is the right one (e.g. has the powers ascribed to it).
