There’s a move at the Land Registry to make land data more open.. but there’s still a way to go. Currently vital data for land justice is behind a huge paywall (>£20k per year). There should be a license that allows civic access to this data. Subscribe to learn more digitalcommons.coop/contact/

🌱 Two NEW features just dropped in Land Explorer 👇 1. Unregistered land: You can now see all unregistered land in your area. 2. Colour-coding: The colour-coding in each ownership level has been improved, so it’s way easier to tell them apart. Check the updates our here: landexplorer.coop

100s of groups use Land Explorer to uncover who owns the land around them & improve their communities. Community groups & campaigners should not be priced out of this data. Here are our recommendations to the Land Registry 👇 digitalcommons.coop/community-ac...

"Make ownership of large landholdings public" Great report from the @digitalcommons.bsky.social with key recommendation that HM Land Registry should make the ownership of landholdings above a certain area threshold publicly available: digitalcommons.coop/content/file...

Last week the Digital Commons team (minus the wonderful Lynne) met in Birmingham for our away day 🌱 It gave us a chance to step back and plan what’s next for our tools and partnerships and to reconnect on what drives our work. 👇

Who owns land is one of the most opaque & important questions in the UK today. Communities cannot tackle the housing crises, respond to environmental changes, or protect local green spaces w/o this info. That’s why we built a tool that makes it simple to see who owns what. 👉 landexplorer.coop

What happens when you make Land Ownership data available, for free, to community action groups? That's what Land Explorer does, and here's how the first 18 months has gone: digitalcommons.coop/community-ac...
