Make it Local Scotland

Applications for Make it Local Scotland have now closed.

We will be informing councils by 14 February 2012 on the selected open data projects in Scotland. We will  provide more information on the chosen pilot projects on our website and will keep this updated as the pilots progress this year. Our thanks to the local authorities in Scotland who have submitted their applications - we look forward to working with you.

Our original Make it Local programme resulted in the creation of three new services using library data, land ownership data and contact centre data. You can view the resulting three services here.

See our Make it Local toolkit for ten top tips for creating local services using open data.

For more information on the Make it Local Scotland programme please read the FAQs.
