About this dataset
Update Script Maintenance Report
Date: 2026-03-04
- Verified that
scripts/population.pycurrently 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.ymlwith 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.
