Hi Chris, I'm working on something with this data. Which fields do you need? At the moment I've just got the council names and URLs. Bear in mind that local government will be reorganised tomorrow with some LAs disappearing and some new unitary authorities coming into being: http://www.brent.gov.uk/egr.nsf/documents/Local%20Government%20reorganisation%20April%202009 If you want some data to get you started you can get it here: http://pipes.yahoo.com/adrianshort/ukcouncils but bear in mind it's out of date as of tomorrow. I'll update it ASAP. All the best, Adrian Short http://adrianshort.co.uk/ http://twitter.com/adrianshort _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
