Why?
I made this site because I couldn't find an up-to-date source for council compositions with accessible data.
May I?
I've made the CSV databases Public Domain (download links above), using a Creative Commons license.
NOC?
Lots of information sources on councils will use the term "No Overall Control". I consider this to be journalistic code for either "Not yet decided" or "We couldn't be bothered to check". In reality many councils are run by a coalition of parties, so although I've kept references to NOC where there's no majority, I've also added the coalition in control (if I can be bothered to check, of course). In the table on the front page, NOC council control is based on the party of the mayor or the largest coalition party.
