Infographic for Conservation Department Figures

Since the article about the Council’s Conservation Department cut-backs I wrote for Birmingham Recycled I sent another FOI request asking for some internal figures regarding the departments budget for the last 10 years.

They finally got back to me on the 19th May, but could only supply me to with estimated department figures for the last six years. They also sent me an excel of figures regarding spending on refurbishment etc. for historical sites and Birmingham museums that come under the care of the Council’s Conservation group.

So in short, I had a go at making an infographic as a nice visual way of viewing the figures that got set to me. To check out the on for the departments budgets click here. I’m going to have a go at making one for the other numbers I’ve got, see if I can make sense of it all, so if you’re interested keep checking here to see what I’ve done.

  1. Nice work! Not sure why you used a bubble chart? Bar chart might be better as you’ve got 2 values (amount and year) – bubble charts are best for 3 values (the size of the bubble represents the 3rd one)

  2. I did think I should have used a bar chart however when I previewed it I thought, how dull looking. So I’m afraid to say I used a bubble chart because of the fact that I liked the way it looked….
