Local Government Transparency Code

The Local Government Transparency Code 2015 sets out key principles for local authorities to create greater transparency through the publication of public data. It outlines the minimum requirements for local authorities to publish open data for re-use and in a timely way.

The aim is to place more power into citizens’ hands to increase democratic accountability and make it easier for you to contribute to the local decision-making process and help shape public services.
