Nine months ago I got in touch with @bureaulocal with an idea to map everything councils have sold off under austerity
@bureaulocal After hundreds of FOI requests and hours of work, we are launching #SoldFromUnderYou, an investigation by me, @emmayoule, @cboutaud and @Gareth_Davies09 that reveals for the first time the scale of what has been lost to local councils under austerity
@bureaulocal @emmayoule @cboutaud @Gareth_Davies09 I've been blown away by the skill of @Gareth_Davies09, who taught me so much about how to work with data, and the amazing @bureaulocal and their network. We're lucky to have them holding truth to power in the UK.
@bureaulocal @cboutaud @Gareth_Davies09 For the first time you can search your council and see the libraries, parks, day care centres and many more buildings that it has sold using the map we created with @outlandish and the supremely talented @joaquimds …il-sell-off.thebureauinvestigates.com
The scale of the sell-off is terrifying and irreversible – and much of the money is funding council redundancies. We hope to provide some much-needed transparency around austerity and what the word really means for the most vulnerable huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/sold-fro… #SoldFromUnderYou
