"Flood Alerts Near You: Insurance, Sandbags, Calm" is hyperlocal drama with national paperwork. Neighbours see the street; markets sometimes see the policy pattern across councils.
Why local rumours feel absolute
Anecdotes scale badly; sample sizes of one dominate. Markets imperfectly aggregate people following the actual agenda — useful when your street is screaming.
Not legal advice
You still read the letter. You still check the portal. Markets tell you if informed people think a rule change sticks — not whether your fence is compliant.
- →Screenshot council notices.
- →If the market and the planning portal diverge, trust the portal.
- →Use markets to time questions to councillors, not to sue neighbours.
Democracy is slow on purpose — markets are just one early-warning layer.
