Open Data & Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics

We are currently designing a new open data publishing platform and replacement SNS system for our statistics. We'd really like for you to be involved in this work to make sure we create a website that lets you access the right data in the right formats, when you need it. We have recently completed the design and initial build of the project and we are now progressing through our alpha testing environment. We hope to have something to share with you around April, but please get in touch with us if you would like more information.

Get in touch with us on Twitter, or email us.
