This may be of interest to colleagues as the Census has been an important
source of data on commuter cycling levels, particularly for comparing local
areas.

Subject: IMPORTANT: Launch of the Beyond 2011 User Requirements Consultation
Dear User
The Beyond 2011 Programme was formally established in April 2011 to
investigate and assess alternative options for producing the population
and socio-demographic data required by users in England and Wales.
Understanding the needs, priorities and views of users and other
stakeholders is an essential part of the work of Beyond 2011, and this
is the focus of our first public consultation which is launched today.
This consultation will provide a first opportunity for users to
contribute to the discussion and help inform this important work. The
views expressed in response to this consultation will be critical in
determining how we develop the assessment criteria that will be used to
judge the different options being considered.
This consultation will be open for 14 weeks from 17 October 2011 to 20
January 2012.
There are numerous ways in which you can get involved and find out more
about the Beyond 2011 Programme.
The consultation document and online questionnaire are available here:

The consultation document provides several opportunities for comment,
and we strongly welcome contributions from anyone with an interest.
We will be running a series of workshops during November to support this
consultation. Workshops are planned for the following dates and
locations:
03 November 2011 – Leeds
08 November 2011 – Cardiff
14 November 2011 – London – FULLY BOOKED
25 November 2011 – London (extra event added)
If you wish to attend one of these workshops please email
[log in to unmask] stating the date and location you would like to
attend and the organisation, if any, you will be representing. Please
note that there are limited places remaining at these events and places
are allocated on a first come first served basis.
If you are unable to attend an event and wish to discuss you views
directly, please contact us at [log in to unmask]
We will be providing regular updates on progress and plans via our
contacts list and online – check here for up-to-date news:

This initial public consultation is only the start of a two year
dialogue planned with central and local government, commercial
organisations, academics, community organisations, special interest
groups and other users.
Thank you for your interest in the Programme and we hope you will
continue to be involved throughout the wider consultation process.
