Melton
7 datasets are currently published for Melton. 3 more are on this site for other parts of the UK but not published here: tender awards (Find a Tender / Contracts Finder carry almost no Scottish notices — Scotland's public bodies largely use a separate procurement portal); the tender single-bid rate (same near-zero Scottish coverage as tender awards — Find a Tender / Contracts Finder carry almost no Scottish notices); pupil absence (Department for Education; published for local authorities in England, but not every English district — some are reported only as part of their wider county).
Each figure below comes from a different official publisher and was last confirmed on a different date — click through to any one for its own source and "as of" date.
