CommUNIty · in the spirit of Harmony
Know what’s happening where you live.
Planning applications, green space, community groups, defibrillators, local heritage and the decisions being taken about your neighbourhood — gathered from public sources into one place, for one postcode.
We don’t store your postcode, and there’s nothing to sign up for.
What you’ll see
Seven strands, one place.
A community isn’t a collection of separate issues. Planning affects traffic. Traffic affects air quality. Development affects wildlife. Green space affects wellbeing. Community facilities affect connection.
So the information is organised the way the place actually works — six strands drawn from Harmony’s emphasis on nature, place and what came before, and a seventh of our own.
“the future lies in working in far greater harmony with nature”
King Charles III
Strand I
Nature & Environment
Harmony starts with the natural world. This is the green space, heathland, woodland and water on your doorstep — how clean the air is, where it floods, and where you can get your hands dirty helping.
Strand II
Place & Development
What is being proposed, built and dug up around you. Most of it is decided in public, on a deadline — but only if somebody notices in time.
Strand III
Community & Connection
The halls, groups, associations and events that hold a neighbourhood together — and the practical ways to contribute to it rather than only complain about it.
Strand IV
Health & Wellbeing
Where the nearest defibrillator is before you need it, who to call, and the walking groups, sport and wellbeing services that keep people well in the first place.
Strand V
Learning & Skills
CommUNIty is about uniting by learning. This is where learning already happens near you — libraries, schools, colleges and universities — plus the talks, workshops and skills sessions open to everyone.
Strand VI
Heritage & Identity
Harmony places real weight on respecting place, tradition and what came before. This is what is protected near you, what is old, and what makes this particular neighbourhood distinctive.
Strand VII
Future Generations
A community isn't a collection of separate issues. Planning affects traffic. Traffic affects air quality. Development affects wildlife. Green space affects wellbeing. Community facilities affect connection. This strand reads the other six together and asks the long question.
Contribute, don’t just complain
Know something the map doesn’t?
Open data can tell you where the woodland is. It can’t tell you that the litter pick meets there on the first Saturday of the month. Add a local event, group or initiative and — once a moderator has checked it — it will show for everyone who looks up a nearby postcode.
