Open Data Project

Timebank exchange

Members Sue Ball and Edafe Onerhime have been collaborating through Leeds Creative Time Bank around ‘Open Data’. With 5 hours of timebank credits, Sue Ball requested Edafe Onerhime to use her skills as an Open Data Specialist to investigate empty commercial property and land in Leeds South Bank. Edafe has produced an online map using business rates data from Leeds Data Mill to which Sue is ‘pinning’ images of each unit via twitter ( see image above). This map will be developed through public participative walks and other forms of public interface to consider the wider regeneration of this area of the city. Sue will be putting more requests through the timebank network.

LCT Big Social – Here’s what we got up to!

So July 9th was our latest Big Social held at Wharf Chambers. This was arranged predominantly by Sarah Spanton and Lynette Willoughby. In the Social, members got the chance to socialise and to take part in ‘The gift’. The Gift is a project where members can pitch a project idea that they are currently working on, and other members get to vote on which project or projects they would like to support. This time Lynette Willoughby, Sue Ball and Sarah Spanton kindly donated hours to the time bank to make this possible. Members can donate hours to other members at any time through our gifting transaction service.
