Not much to disagree with here. One thing I can't quite grasp is how these maps are supposed to empower people (in any straightforward way at least). How do they do this? Answers on a postcard please.
But more pertinently, why do they have to? This is information collected using public money, and, unless there is a good reason, it should be publicly available. This should be the principle involved, not any dubious claims about the utility of the data. Would it not have been released if it wasn't 'empowering'?
