## The Report

You can view the "Bristol News Library" from the homepage on "[BU Reports](https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiNmY0MWUwMzUtMjdiNS00MWI3LThiMzQtMzk4MjAzOGU4NmFmIiwidCI6IjFmNzcyZmI5LTg4NDAtNGEyYS04N2M0LTM1YWM5OGNjZjZkOSJ9&ref=bristol-uncovered.uk)".

You can filter the report by Category, Title and Source.

Apparently some people aren't that interested in Planning Applications or FOI Requests (but you should be!).
