Local Intelligence Networks (LIN)

The South West Local Intelligence Networks (LINs) are an excellent resource for sub-regional data across many different theme areas. LIN websites are a good first port of call for data and the LIN teams are helpful, friendly and excellent at signposting you to local datasets or local contacts who may be able to assist with more specific requests. Details for each of the seven LINs in the region can be found below:
