roadworks.org is a completely free-to-view portal of roadworks information.
It is this Government's policy to drive accountability and efficiency by opening up public sector data - and to drive growth and innovation by making this data available in intelligent formats to industry.
ELGIN redistributes public sector information under the Open Government Licence and provides its added value aggregation and application services to industry via its easy to use API (Application Programme Interface).
Participating Local Authorities who are part of the ELGIN initiative are at the forefront of public bodies who make their data available in intelligent formats for industry to use.
"Local Authorities are often at the forefront of transparency and Open Data and well in advance of many parts of central Government!
ELGIN exemplifies the best in Open Data commitment by participating Local Authorities and its national partners, but at the same time satisfies a quite proper public sector concern for timeliness and accuracy."
Shane O'Neill, Chairman of ELGIN and Member of the Advisory Panel on Public Sector Information (www.appsi.gov.uk)
