Notice walls still matter in estates where not everyone reads the same chat app. A consultation poster for a park lighting upgrade asked for comments by mail and email. We copied both channels, the deadline, and the project reference number from the poster into our story.
Consultations are proposals until a gazette or a confirmed letter says otherwise. We use the word proposal in the first paragraph so readers do not think construction starts tomorrow because a poster appeared.
Town councils and agencies use different logos. We name the body on the poster, not the body we wish had signed it. Misidentified agencies are a common correction; we double-check footers on PDFs.
Meetings advertised on posters sometimes move rooms. We update stories when a new poster replaces an old one; we do not rely on a photo from last month without checking the wall again.
Neighbourhoods desk walks past the same walls for atmosphere — stall hours, lost-and-found, flea markets. Civic Watch owns consultations and meeting lawfulness. Cross-links keep the wall from being two competing stories.
If a poster asks for feedback on a transport change, Transport desk joins the file for service numbers. Shared dates, one headline on Civic Watch, a transport box inside.
