What is Open Data?

We are committed to publishing as much information and data as we can, free of charge. This Open Data area has been created to help us to:

• Increase openness and transparency.
• Make the data we hold freely available online (subject to the Data Protection Act).
• Encourage the public to interact with and use the data that is available.
• Publish data in a machine readable format so that is can be re-used.

We publish various categories of information for you to download and reuse in line with the conditions laid out in the Open Government Licence. To access the information click on the category on the tab under Open Data on the menu bar above.
