Sending #FreedomOfInformation requests to multiple authorities can sometimes be the only way to get a broad view of an issue - but as anyone who's tried this will know, the answers that come in can be arduous to manage. (1 of 2)

You probably knew that members of the public have the right to ask questions at council committee meetings - but how do you go about it? We spoke to someone who knows all the answers! If you're looking to make change in your own local area, this is a must-read:
