Hi everyone

This is the response I sent to Councillor McKay

Regards

Brian

Dear Councillor McKay


Many thanks for your investigation and prompt repsonse. As the data still
seems to be provisional we are happy to wait for the finalised data in
OpenData format. We shall liaise with Will Martin on this. You response
does however raise a couple of issues:

1. The existing published data, even if provisional, does not need the
Crown Copyright statement as you have ascertained that is using an Ordnance
Survey OpenData base layer. If this data is still available publicly then
that statement should be removed and replaced with an explicit OGLv2
licence statement

2. It seem clear that despite having a commendable OpenData policy there
are sections of the Council's operations that need an internal awareness
campaign and a set of processes to ensure data is published as OpenData
accoring to your policy.

Regards
