Organising principles
- 01We publish evidence, not accusations.
- 02We label what is verified, what is reported and what is unanswered.
- 03We are non-partisan and support no party or candidate.
- 04We oppose neither tourism nor investment; we ask for lawful process and proper assessment.
- 05We correct errors publicly and promptly.
- 06We do not publish private personal data.
Governance
The campaign is run by volunteers. Decisions on publication are taken by a small coordinating group; every published document is checked by at least two people before it goes live. Enquiries reach the coordinating group through the contact form on this site.
Financial transparency
We are committed to providing financial transparency as donations are received. Once fundraising activity is established, a summary of income and expenditure will be published here. Donations are restricted to campaign purposes, including legal advice, independent environmental expertise, communications and campaign operating costs.
Conflict-of-interest disclosure
No member of the coordinating group has a commercial interest in the site, in a competing development, or in any organisation named on this site. Any change to that position will be disclosed here.
Contact
General enquiries, evidence and document requests all come to us through the contact form on this site. We read every message and reply as quickly as a volunteer team can.
Media contact
Journalists are welcome to reach us through the contact form, choosing the press option, for documents and comment. We will say what we know, what we do not know, and which is which.
Information status
What we publish, and how it changes
This campaign is actively gathering and verifying information. Much of the planning file for this project is not yet public, so parts of this site describe what has been reported to us rather than what we can prove with a document. Every statement is labelled, and this site is updated as facts are confirmed.
Information status
Despite repeated requests for information, Lagos Câmara has not provided the responses or documentation we have requested. We will continue to update this website as new information becomes available.
- We publish documents where we hold them, and cite them in full.
- Information reported to us is marked as reported until it is verified.
- Unanswered questions stay visible as questions, not as claims.
- Where we get something wrong, we correct it and record the correction.
Our evidence standard
We publish documents where we have them and link to the official source beneath the statement it supports. Information reported to the campaign is described as reported, and unanswered questions are kept visible as questions rather than presented as facts. Where we are wrong, we correct the record and record the correction.
Disclaimer
This campaign does not allege that any person or organisation has acted unlawfully. Statements about legality are made only where established by official evidence or a decision of a court. We make no personal accusations and publish no private personal data.
