  • Datagm Type: Website Organisation(S): GM Local Authorities, Open Data Manchester, GMFRS Tags: Open Data, Process, Standards, Website
    Case Study: DataGM Type: Website Organisation(s): GM local authorities, Open Data Manchester, GMFRS Tags: open data, process, standards, website This was the earliest attempt in Greater Manchester to create a simple datastore that would hold important data from across the region, focussing on government transparency and providing better public services. The result was a highly functional datastore with which brought together data from a wider range of data publishers, and included a total of 371 datasets. It was ultimately not successful in creating a lasting basis for open data cooperation and access in Greater Manchester. However, it provides interesting lessons on how to proceed with future projects. Background DataGM was launched in February 2011, inspired by successful projects in North American cities, such as Track DC (now Open Data DC) in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore City Stats (now Open Baltimore). It was conceived as a one-stop-shop for key datasets on all aspects of city life. The programme emerged through a partnership between Trafford Council and the digital culture agency Future Everything. This began in 2009 when the Manchester Innovation Fund supported Future Everything to build open data innovation architecture in Greater Manchester, funded by NESTA, Manchester Council and the North West Regional Development Agency (now closed). Future Everything and Trafford Council in turn partnered with a wide range of data publishing organisations. These included local authority partners, as well as Greater Manchester Policy, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (now Transport for Greater Manchester), and the North West Strategic Health Authority.

  • Three Policy Priorities for Greater Manchester January 2017
    Three policy priorities for Greater Manchester January 2017 Introduction The first metro mayor of Greater Manchester will be elected with a vision for the city and clear strategic, deliverable policies to meet it. The challenge and workload will be considerable, with powers and expectations ranging from delivering policy, to establishing the institutions and capacity for effective city-region governance. This briefing offers three priorities that address the biggest issues facing Greater Manchester. A ‘quick win’ will help the mayor to set the tone for delivery right from the start. Delivering results quickly will build trust, and show what the metro mayor is able to do for the city-region. The best ‘quick wins’ in these circumstances are high profile and of value to citizens. Strategic decisions form the framework for delivering the metro mayor’s vision. As such, the mayor will have the power to take the decisions that will make the most of the new geography of governance. While the mayor will be keen to show progress towards their vision, strategic decisions will often take longer to show outcomes, therefore careful evaluation is needed to allow for flexibility and to demonstrate the effects. A long term vision for the city will be the key election platform – it is what the mayor is working towards while in office. This should be ambitious, but reflect the real needs and potential of the city. Some aspects of the vision will be achievable within the mayor’s term in office, while others will build momentum or signal a change in direction. It is important to be clear and strike the balance of where each policy lies on this spectrum.
