What is the Places Database?
•
Common repository for all place-related data and information in CLG at a range
of geographic levels
LAs, Local Areas, Regions, Cities, Towns, Neighbourhoods, and Policy-related areas (e.g. Pathfinders)
•
Simple tailored screens for multiple audiences and uses
Strategic briefing for Ministerial visits e.g. to Buncefield
Policy-specific reports and screens e.g. for monitoring Local Area Agreements or Thames Gateway areas
Analytical capability in support of DCLG staff e.g. for CSR preparation
Statistics download centre for analysts
•
A scalable framework to be flexible and responsive to new or changing
Departmental priorities (DSOs) and to allow efficiencies to be realised via
consolidation and convergence of the Department’s other data systems.
