Open Innovations

Here is a timeline of our best bits open-innovations.org/timeline/

After 12 years of pioneering work being #RadicallyOpen it's time for us to wind down Open Innovations - our website will remain as a legacy & resource - thanks & goodbye. open-innovations.org/blog/2026-04-1…

Use our free #WarmSpaces tool this winter for those in need. warm.open-innovations.org

Open Innovations is all about doing and sharing. Our Toolbox is a great example of this. It demonstrates just some of the tools we have designed and built that are free for all to use, share and learn from. We know many people use & reshare these tools . open-innovations.org/data/toolbox/

We developed the Bin App over 9 yrs ago, starting in Leeds & progressing to Rotherham, Luton, & Fenland. It is testament to its popularity that we get regular emails congratulating us on the Bin App as it has become an essential tool for many. open-innovations.org/blog/2020-07-1…

We love #opendata and we love #buses. There isn't an archive of bus data available so we thought start building an archive ourselves. And of course we've made it openly available. Please follow along and get involved. data.datalibrary.uk/transport/BODS…

Websites are a source of carbon emissions and there are some easy ways to reduce website emissions - our website can help - take a look at our tips here open-innovations.github.io/council-websit…

We have built a website which shows a dashboard for every constituency, covering economy, energy, environment, health, society, and transport. How does your constituency compare ? #UKConstituencies dashboard.constituencies.org.uk

Our latest newsletter is a short but impactful read - take a look it could help you with a project :) open-innovations.org/blog/2025-08-2…

Using #OpenData we have developed tools and visualisations for UK Constituencies - its fascinating and important work - please take a look, share and let us know what you think. constituencies.org.uk

If you've been following our work for a while you'll know that there are some topics we get very animated about. One of those is buses. As there is not an official archive of BODS data - we thought we would build one ourselves - see the results here open-innovations.org/blog/2025-07-3…

We have taken our constituency hex maps & created a view that showed a constituency with every dataset - a dashboard for every constituency - so you can compare and contrast. #Free for all to use - just give us an accreditation :) open-innovations.org/blog/2025-06-2…

We like Bus Open Data. We have made a prototype for an archive of BODS data. An archive will allow us & others, to see how policy has influenced people's lives & how we could improve our bus networks to make people's lives better- backed by #OpenData. datalibrary.uk/transport/

Our Toolbox is full of #Free & useful data visualisation, data analysis and data wrangling tools. We build them to use in our work and for others to use and share #RadicallyOpen open-innovations.org/data/toolbox/

Using #OpenData, we visualise data sets across different themes by constituency so you can compare regions across the UK. These are the latest June updates. constituencies.open-innovations.org
