​
Ward Treasury

The Ward Treasury Card displays the unallocated “Community Fund”.
  • Community Fund: Money available for local projects.
  • Governance Locked: Funds cannot be withdrawn by individuals. Spending requires a winning Governance Proposal.

​
Community Tab (The Town Square)

This is where the action happens:
  • Report Issues — Potholes, broken lights, blocked drains
  • See Activity — What neighbors are reporting
  • Upvote Important Issues — Help urgent problems rise to the top
Issues with high “heat” (many upvotes) automatically get resolution polls

​
Projects Tab

Community-driven improvements:
  • Proposed — Ideas waiting for support
  • Active — Projects in progress
  • Completed — Finished with proof

​
Governance Tab

Your democratic voice:
  • Councillor Info — Contact details and promises
  • Mandate Tracker — Are promises being kept?
  • Ward Polls — Vote on community decisions

​
Marketplace Tab

Shop local:
  • Products from ward businesses
  • National delivery options
  • Support local entrepreneurs

​
Discussions Tab

Discussions are for deliberation, not debate. Keep it civil and constructive.
Every discussion thread is linked to:
  • A Signal (issue report)
  • A Project
  • A Governance topic
  • An Event

​
Ledger Tab

The Ward Ledger is the “Institutional Memory” — a transparent record of:
  • Issues reported and resolved
  • Projects completed
  • Governance decisions made
  • Community contributions
No likes, no vanity metrics — just verified civic action.
