We are very happy to announce that we will be The Bureau Local’s data partners for their Big Council Budget Hack – West Midlands event on Saturday 3rd February at Coventry University’s Ellen Terry Building.

This Bureau Local investigation “is bringing together budget data for each of England’s 353 councils to find out what makes the cut – and what doesn’t – ahead of the government’s next set of funding decisions in March.”

Open Data Manchester have the onerous task of completing a technical review of all the data beforehand. We will be on hand at the Coventry event to help people explore the data and find the answers to any questions they might have.

The sign up is on Eventbrite. If you are coming along and already know what you are interested in then please let us know in the comments and we will try and do some preparatory work beforehand.
