Update Script Maintenance Report

Date: 2026-03-04

  • Verified that scripts/population.py currently fails while loading the projection source URL (central_trend_2016_base.xlsx) with HTTP 403 from data.london.gov.uk.
  • Confirmed the historical ONS totals source in the same script remains reachable, but the projection source endpoint is blocked/retired for non-browser automated fetches.
  • Added first GitHub Actions workflow at .github/workflows/actions.yml with schedule + manual dispatch and write permissions.
  • No dataset file refresh was committed in this pass because upstream projection fetch is currently unavailable to the existing pipeline.
