The Hub is only as complete as the public record it can see.
Council minutes are summaries, meeting transcripts are not searchable online, and the CivicWeb archive is not fully in the Hub yet. The guardrail is transparency: answers link to sources, label whose record they came from, and say when the record is thin.
Everyday answers, by topic
Garbage day, permits, taxes, roads, recreation — tap a topic and the answer opens right here.

Your questions don't just get answered — they get heard
Every question asked here is counted (anonymously — we record the question, never who asked it). The issues raised most often, with the biggest impact on residents, are researched into full briefs and brought to the township through the Ramara Civic Forum — the resident group built to do exactly that. Asking a question here is a small act of making Ramara work better.
