The narrow questions nobody else writes down

Each page here answers one question that has no published answer anywhere else. They are built the same way every time: read what each council, company or provider publishes itself, put the positions side by side in one table, and date every row — including the ones that publish nothing.

Every answer

Every figure lives on the page it belongs to, with the date it was checked beside it. This index deliberately carries none, so nothing here can go stale while the answer itself is kept current.
