Notes

If your council is publishing spending data please be aware of the guidance from Open Government Data and the Local Public Data Panel. You can ask questions and get support in the Local Open Data Community on Communities of Practice for Local Government (approved registration required.)

Data URL A web page that links to the various downloadable data files.
Open licence? If Yes, the council is explicitly stating an open licence which allows people to use and republish the data, including for commercial purposes. Councils that don't have an open licence could follow Windsor and Maidenhead's example and adopt the data.gov.uk licence. An open licence is essential to enable the maximum use of this data and allow it to be combined with data from other councils to enable comparisons and benchmarking.
Machine readable? The data needs to be able to be pulled directly into a database or spreadsheet from the web, not just visible as a web page or document. Acceptable formats include CSV, JSON and XML. Unacceptable formats include PDF and Word documents which can't be directly loaded as data into another program. It is also unacceptable to use a word-verification CAPTCHA to prevent automated downloads.
Start The start of the period for which spending data is published.
End The end of the period for which spending data is published.
Updated The date on which this scoreboard data was updated for this council. If you are concerned that your own council's data is out of date here, please get in touch.
