This data is taken from a trawl through the record of meeting attendance for 2007 Swindon Borough Council’s website. Taking an entry in the attendance page of ‘Present’ or ‘In attendance’ as meaning they were there, and any other entry as meaning that they should have been there but weren’t, gives some interesting results. Note that I have considered all meetings for which councillor attendance is listed on the council’s website: some of these committees are described as ‘independent’, but presumably are closely related to the council’s business otherwise why would they be listed?
The data is also available as a comma separated text file [0.4 MB], Excel spreadsheet [2.5 MB] or OpenOffice spreadsheet [0.1 MB]. (Right click on the links to download.)
Note: the links in the table below are to a very large page [0.6 MB].
