Open data and transparency

We are an open, accountable and transparent local authority.

Providing access to Open Data in Hampshire

As part of our aim to improve trust and understanding among residents we publish a number of important sets of information as Open Data.

Open Data means making the non-personal information we hold freely available to everyone in a format that can be reused.

Anyone can use our data. You don't have to apply or ask for permission, but you do have to agree to the terms of the Open Government License v3.0 for public sector information.

You are free to choose how you use the data.

  • You may want to examine the data to get a better understanding of local issues or of how we work.
  • You can 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.

In exchange, we expect you to follow the Code of Conduct in the National Data Library guidance on Open Data usage.

For more details see: re-using our information.
