Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:15 pm on 15 February 2017.
Thank you, Minister. Harrow Council have used big data to streamline rubbish collection and grass-cutting services, making £4 million of savings just through calculating the best routes to collect the bins and preventing overlap. Camden Council has reduced repair calls by 14 per cent by using big data to pinpoint where problems arise. When considering how the delivery of public services is redesigned, will you ensure that digital innovation is embedded so that we can be at the forefront of the big data revolution?
