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 :)

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

We've created a hex cartogram showing the number of NHS (or equivalent) dentists by constituency: constituencies.open-innovations.org/themes/healt...

Most NHS dentists: Cities of London and Westminster (36)

Fewest NHS dentists: Stoke-on-Trent South, South Northamptonshire, and South Norfolk (5)
A hex cartogram of UK constituencies coloured by the number of NHS (or Public Health Scotland, or Health Social Care Northern Ireland) dentists. The colour scale goes from 0 to 30+. Parts of central and north west London, Northern Ireland, and Scotland have more dentists per constituency. The Cities of London and Westminster have 36 NHS dentists, Glasgow North has 33, Belfast South and Mid Down has 31. Stoke-on-Trent South, South Northamptonshir, and South Norfolk only have 5 dentists.
