Neighbourhood Watch (and open data) in Wandsworth
View Neighbourhood Watch in Wandsworth in a larger map A fairly hefty map, but one I thought I’d put together following my post about freedom of information. The data I used is freely available from the council’s website (although not in a very useful format). But, with a bit of copy and paste, some processing [...]
The minister cometh

Much of this is provided through extra training for volunteers [...]
Good news on community safety
