Data you want the council to provide

Talk About Local's Will Perrin asked his twitter followers whya sort of infpormation they would like to see their local council provide.

He got a good list back,besides bin collection and bus timetables

1. property development issues – number and type of contracts going out, number and type of bidders, number and type of successful bidders

2. Break down of council agendas for public perusal in easy-to-digest format – encourages interest in meeting items.

3. What assets do they own (especially land)? Useful for everyone from #allotment campaigners to inclusion & employment schemes

4.Cllr attendance records, expenses, committee membership, changing party affiliation etc

5.What crimes have happened locally (not the crime maps they are rubbish)
