Exemplar Award 2016
Winner - Leeds City Council
The Exemplar Award 2016 is for the best example or demonstration of the local address and/or street datasets providing quantifiable benefit to the citizen/authority/region/nation.
About the winning project:
A method was required to provide small area population estimates for bespoke areas and periods of time. Most statistics are published at known geographies (Census Output Areas, Ward, Local Authority boundary)and at fixed periods of time (for example the decennial census) but in reality these geographies and frequencies don't match with the data that users actually want. The project used current academic best practice to test a number of methods and define the most accurate one.
The successful method utilised LLPG property data and classifications; together with Council Tax data on vacant properties; and known 2011 Census average Household Sizes at Output Area to estimate current population sizes, and can be used for any size area.
The method is now used widely within Leeds City Council to provide bespoke population estimates for use in planning applications, service planning and to assist local Neighbourhood Forums gain a better understanding of their locality.
Peer Award 2016
Winner - David Lloyd, Huntingdonshire District Council
Citation from the nominee for David:
"I'd like to nominate David Lloyd, Address custodian at Huntingdonshire DC for this year's peer award. I have known him for many years, working on the DEC technical working group for some time when he was joint chair.
I have also visited him on several occasions for advice on LLPG related matters to assist me in my former role as LLPG data manager at Nottingham City.
He has always been extremely helpful and accommodating and particularly on the DEC TWG group, he was a calm and authoritative member, often guiding the less experienced members like myself who were new to the challenges of such a working group!
As well as serving for many years on the DEC TWG for the LLPG, he has been vice chair and now chair of the East of England region for addresses.
He has also kindly arranged for specialist events, such as demonstrations of software modules, for other authority colleagues, some of which I have attended in the past.
I know from personal experience and from the many projects recorded in the annual EHS award brochures that he is a tireless worker in his authority for the integration of the LLPG into other council systems. The number of awards of winner, runner up and highly commended show just how much effort he and his small team have put into making their LLPG a key part of their council's processes.
He in my view is an outstanding example of 'best practice' and can indeed be classed as an 'Exemplar'!"
