The aim of open data in the public sector is to increase transparency across Government and allow anyone, whether businesses, individuals, charities and community groups to re-use public sector information. The data needs to be in open, readable formats that can be easily reused.

The aim is to:

• Make all data we hold available online (unless private or sensitive)
• Encourage residents, businesses and anyone else with an interest to use our data to develop applications
• Increase transparency and accountability
