Town Tools builds free, public tools for Wheatley and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
The quickest village know-how usually lives in each other's heads — and, until now, in a Facebook group you have to join to read. This is the open version: the questions Wheatley neighbours keep asking, answered by the people who actually live here. Anyone can read it; adding an answer or a vote takes a free account.
With the old Brookes campus becoming 447 new homes, plenty of newcomers are about to ask exactly these things. If you have been here a while, your answer is worth more than any search result — so please add it.
