About the Local Intelligence Hub

What is the Local Intelligence Hub?

The Local Intelligence Hub is a platform to analyse and explore data about local MPs, constituencies, public opinion and the climate and nature movement.

The Local Intelligence Hub supports national campaigning as well as local organising by community groups and individual campaigners. It enables community groups and individual campaigners to have informed conversations with their local political representatives or candidates for election, in order to demonstrate the diversity and scale of the public mandate for action on climate and nature in communities across the UK.

Why did you make the Local Intelligence Hub?

In collaboration with mySociety and Green Alliance, The Climate Coalition created the Local Intelligence Hub to bring together (with both local and national views) disparate sets of publicly available and private data. We recognised lots of data was available, but not easily accessible in one place. We spotted a gap in the digital tools available to us and decided to create something new and useful to the climate, environment and development sectors.

Who owns and/or manages the Local Intelligence Hub?

The Local Intelligence Hub is owned by The Climate Coalition. Management and maintenance of the platform is undertaken by The Climate Coalition and mySociety, with support from Green Alliance. If you see any data that is old or inaccurate, please let us know.

Data

How often is the Local Intelligence Hub updated? Is the current information correct/accurate?

Many of the datasets on the Local Intelligence Hub are gathered automatically from public sources, so are updated at least weekly. Datasets provided by our partners are updated when they provide updates to us. Once a quarter, all partners are contacted and asked to either confirm a dataset remains accurate or provide an update.

Each dataset on the site is clearly labelled with the date it was last updated.

Where has the data come from? Do I need to attribute the source when presenting work that has used the Hub?

A full list of datasets and sources can be found here. Datasets should be attributed if you use them outside the tool.

I have data (from my organisation, or a public source) that I want to upload to the Hub. How do I do that?

We can work with you to get your data incorporated into the Local Intelligence Hub. You can choose whether it’s made available just to other Climate Coalition members, or to all users of the Hub. Contact us to arrange a call.

Who should I contact if I notice something is incorrect?

Where can I find information on data protection?
