The latest transparency open data can be found on Surrey-i.
What is open data?
The idea of open data is that non-personal information held by government and local councils should be freely available for anyone to use.
We want to make our data available for the benefit of everyone, so that:
- we increase the transparency and accountability of what we do
- you can re-use, remix and share the data in new and interesting ways
- you can use the data to create useful applications and websites

What can I do with the data?
You are free to choose how you use the data. For example:
- You may just want to examine the data to get a better understanding of local issues or of how we work.
- You could republish the data on your blog or website.
- If you are a software or web developer, you could use the data as part of a web application or mashup.
Much of the data is provided in its raw state so we are really interested in seeing you take it and turn it into online applications, websites or mobile apps that people will find useful.
If you use the data in a clever or interesting way, let us know - we'd love to highlight what you have done here.
