The government has announced grants to various councils to enable them to encourage the wider use of their data in the public realm, in an effort to ensure that councils are more transparent.

Amongst the grants is one for Derby City Council for the “Provision of comprehensive, high quality, up-to-date information on local authority owned land and property assets

A grant for Hampshire County Council for the “Development of a schema and open source tool to enable collating and publishing of linkable planning data”

Needless to say, East Devon District Council doesn’t appear in the list!
