If it ain’t broke … • Quality of data in the UK • Census v Register • Operational systems: • better statistical information • e.g. address change • enhance privacy
Address: the keystone of information management • 85% of databases use the address • The GB address-base is poorly defined • PAF is designed for mail delivery • Lack of consistent data collection methodology • Lack of standards and linkage protocols • NLPG has adopted industry sponsored BS7666 • NLPG will offer a compliant gazetteer for all land and property throughout GB
Local Government is pivotal • Statutory responsibility for street naming & numbering • Initiator of the “geographic” addressing process • LG cost of address management & research is at least £50 million p.a. (Council Tax, Electoral Roll, new dev’t etc) • Data taken ad hoc without charge by third parties (eg Royal Mail, Experian, Equifax) • A consistent compilation will: • Produce internal savings • Enable the work to be exploited more effectively • Revenue opportunities • Better knowledge management brings financial benefits • The cost of joining the NLPG process is a barrier

The value of working together for every £1 of money given to the Information House, a combined spend and save of £324 is returned to local authorities
Blockages to working together … • Standards • Increasing understanding of the requirement • The loudest industry voices are “academic” rather than “practical” • Policy • Local government policy environment moving in the opposite direction • Local government bodies are not interested • Ministers look after their agencies
Potential ways forward • Adopt the example of HMSO • Click Use licence and Fair Trading • Local authorities are both • Building blocks • Need to establish regulation of local government – HMSO for national datasets? • Ensure datasets are agreed between central and local – don’t overburden • REQUIRE standards adoption as a part of publication
