Nice little story via the Grauniad Newsbucket.
Open Data not only good like Mom and Apple Pie but also saves money.

The use of open data meant that this was exposed and the abusive activity closed down.
One question; that would pay for an awful lot of red jackets, big hats and horses, wouldn't it? I suppose you do have to buy oats for the horses, hmmm...
