Ward-level budgets that residents can actually read

The problem

Municipal budgets are published in formats that make ward-level spending effectively unreadable.

Why it matters

Residents cannot hold a council to account for money they cannot locate.

Proposed solution

Republish municipal budget data at ward level in a plain format wherever the underlying data can be obtained.

How it would be implemented

Volunteer extraction and republication with a link to the official source document for every figure.
