About Merton Council
Merton Council’s open data page publishes non-personal council information for public reuse under the same terms as data.gov.uk. It lists datasets including spending over £500, finance documents, contracts, council meeting papers, election results, parking data, property register, councillor allowances and attendance, and senior staff salaries, in formats such as CSV, XLS, PDF, HTML and DOC.
Some listed items have no data: social housing assets are owned and managed by Clarion, and no waste collection contract existed when the transparency requirement applied because the service was in-house.
