I've a FOI request in to a council for its Traffic Management Orders. These are the documents that the council needs to have in place in order to enforce parking restrictions.
Clearly its useful information, and for individuals to request from one council doesn't really get them into the public domain in a searchable form. What's needed is the ability to submit to all councils, and then periodically for updates, and to centralise the publication. A similar sort of document would be a list, and preferably a GIS of conservation areas. I suspect there are some other similarly types of requests where you want to bulk FOI councils, or groups of organisations. Since you don't want abuses of an FOI system, you probably want some sort of vetting, but it would always be open for someone to mash up an interface to whatdotheknow. Viable or not? -- Nick _______________________________________________ developers-public mailing list [email protected] https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public Unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/options/developers-public/archive%40mail-archive.com
