Need To Know acts as the site's orientation page for visitors who want the essentials first: political parties, departments, response times, newsletters, and the accountability context around them.
This section gives people the context they need before they complain, compare, or escalate. It explains where accountability fits into the broader civic-information journey.
Newsletters and public notices belong here because they are part of the same orientation flow: understand the local context, then move into the detailed routes that matter most.
Departments and response-time signals work best when they are presented together. Visitors usually need to know who is responsible and how long progress is taking.
Use Need To Know as the orientation layer, then jump into the live party, department, and accountability pages for detail.
