What is this? |
I made this site back in 2016 because I couldn't find an up-to-date source for council compositions with accessible data. As well as the councils archive, I now also offer paid datasets.

Can I use it? |
I've made the CSV databases Public Domain (download links above), using a Creative Commons license.

What does NOC mean? |
Lots of information sources on councils will use the term "No Overall Control". I consider this to be journalistic code for either "Not yet decided" or "We couldn't be bothered to check". In reality many councils are run by a coalition of parties, so although I've kept references to NOC where there's no majority, I've also added the coalition in control (if I can be bothered to check, of course). In the table on the front page, NOC council control is based on the party of the mayor or the largest coalition party.

Any suggestions? |
If you find this site useful or have ideas for how it could be used for the public good, my email link is at the bottom.
