If you love something, set it free…

It seems our initial fears of reluctance within WCC to release data were mostly unfounded. Over the course of last few days our open data has, quite literally, been trickling in.

So for everyone eagerly awaiting the grand launch of WCC’s Open Data site, I can confirm we will have the following datasets:

• WCC School closures
• WCC News
• WCC Events
• WCC Councillors
• Committee Meetings
• Jobs
• Museums
• One Stop Shops
• Libraries
• Country Parks
• Recycling Centres
• Schools
• School admissions data

And (hopefully) the following datasets will be coming to a screen near you very soon:

• Pupils on roll
• Pupils with SEN
• Free School Meal eligibility
• Pupils with a first language other than English
• Pupil ethnic groups
• Pupil absences
• Pupil exclusions
• Roadworks information
• Congestion information
• Election information
