**1. Celebrating 10 years of the NLPG**
2009 marks the 10 year anniversary of the NLPG, so this year's
Exemplar Awards will
have a special resonance, which is why we have included
additional Award categories,
and worked closely with our partners in the Department of
Communities and Local
Government and the Ministry of Justice, to recognise the
essential work being done
by local authorities in both the FiReControl and CORE projects.
For more information about all of the Award categories, see
[1]www.nlpg.org.uk.
Entry forms are also available on the website.

The conference and exhibition isn't all about work! IA and LGIH
are sponsoring
two drinks and nibbles receptions for delegates, speakers and
exhibitors. The first
get together is from 8pm on the 25th November, the night before
the conference,
and will take place in a reserved room at [4]Tiger Tiger.
Whilst some nibbles will
be available at the reception, there are many restaurants
available in the area
to suit all tastes and budgets.
At the close of conference, there will be another drinks and
nibbles reception at
the conference venue, the [5]Victoria Park Plaza Hotel. Why not
stay and enjoy
a drink before setting off home?

Yes?
Are you sure?
Is it right?
Intelligent Addressing offer a validation service which will
analyse matches between
your Register of Electors (RoE) and the National Land and
Property Gazetteer (NLPG).
It will, amongst other tests:
check that all UPRNs that are matched to RoE records exist in
the NLPG
check whether there are any UPRNs that are duplicated in the RoE
data
check whether any of the UPRNs are located outside the local
authority area or do
not exist in the NLPG
check whether any of the RoE xrefs are duplicated
If you wish to take advantage of this free service IA will
require a file containing
the Register of Electors unique reference and the NLPG UPRN that
is matched to that
unique reference. The file can also include the address elements
from the RoE as
an optional extra. Please send this file to [2]core@intelligent-
addressing.co.uk.
In return IA will send all participating local authorities the
results via email.
If you wish to receive a full, detailed report there will be an
administration charge
of £150. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to
contact Catherine Teare
on 020 7747 3500.

The updates from the VOA have added records, deleted records and
altered addresses,
postcodes, billing authority references and statuses. It is for
this reason that
IA did not send out the unmatched Non Domestic Rates files to
local authorities
at the beginning of September. IA are working to move the NDR
figures back up to
where they were in July, pre-updates, and will send out the
unmatched files in October.
Our LLPG underpins all our core systems such as Council Tax,
Parking, Planning,
Environmental Health, CRM, Electoral Register and GIS. Its
importance is appreciated
at all levels and a cooperative environment has been established
to help maintain
it.
The post is part of the central GIS team of five based in the
Information Systems
Division.

**1. Welsh Assembly Government Project**
As some of you may already know, Shaun Powell LLPG custodian at
Newport Council,
has been seconded to the Welsh Assembly Government. Shaun's
role will be to examine
the degree of progress local authorities in Wales have made in
implementing consistent,
high quality LLPGs across their organisations. The project will
look at how the
common data-standard gained through the use of BS7666:2006 could
be used to promote
and encourage widespread use of the NLPG within public services
in Wales to the
benefit of service providers and citizens. This work has been
commissioned by the
'Making the Connections team' within the Welsh Assembly
Government and is aligned
to a programme of work to improve citizens access to public
services. Shaun will
be in touch with all Welsh authorities as part of this work.
