GeoPlace

GeoPlace is a limited liability partnership owned equally by the Local Government Association (LGA) and OS. We are responsible for collating, managing and maintaining the primary UK authoritative geospatial address and street data.

At the conference we'll be showcasing several areas and offering Helpdesk services, including:

Helpdesk

GeoPlace support sessions will take place throughout the day in the exhibition room. The team is available for with 1-2-1 and advice, with some slots available for pre-booking

Data clinic

The GeoPlace Insights team will also be on hand to demo work around Traffic Sensitive Streets and Public Rights of Way, as well as our work on linked data. We have matched a number of national datasets to UPRNs that are available to local authorities free of charge, to help in your own analysis and as a source of further intelligence for Custodians. These include HMLR Price Paid And Domestic Energy Performance Certificates.

Streets services

The GeoPlace consultancy team are leading experts in the transport network and highways sector, with years of experience supporting authorities to optimise data to deliver efficiency for stakeholders and to residents. A recent article in UKAuthority outlines how GeoPlace works with authorities to cut congestion on the roads.

The team will be on-hand to discuss products and services that authorities can use work with them on including:

• DataVia

• Lane Rental Scheme Implementation

• Permit Scheme Reviews

• Traffic Sensitive Reviews

• Reinstatement Reviews

• Additional Street Data Reviews
• Network Reviews

Street Naming and Numbering (SNN)

Meet with the team to discuss the Street Naming and Numbering Code of Practice. The Code is designed to provide guidance and support for SNN Officers when doing their day-to-day job. We’ll be demonstrating examples of our forthcoming scenarios, which provide specific guidance when managing real world challenging housing and property developments that require new street names and property numbers.

Return on investment

Do you need to defend your expenditure on maintaining your local address and street gazetteers? GeoPlace has recently worked with specialist management advisors ConsultingWhere, to make a national assessment of the Return on Investment of the address and street data to local authorities.

Earlier this year we customised this work to provide an RoI report specifically for Nottingham City Council.

With this experience ConsultingWhere are now able to offer a cost-effective Return on Investment service to individual local authorities. Each report provides a customised assessment of economic value and PowerPoint presentation on the value of the land and property gazetteer to your local authority.

The report will look at the specific priorities of your council, the efficiency gains already realised as well as what might be achieved going forward. It will be presented in the language and format designed to engage senior decision makers.

The team from ConsultingWhere will be on hand to discuss your specific needs in this area.
