Have any Local Authorities registered for this? It's a Government initiative involving the Electoral Roll, Address Point, Business Rates and Council Tax records (Do I hear alarm bells?) I'd be interested to know if anyone is already involved with this. PS There's a web site at http://www.nlpg.org.uk/ which might be of interest One extract is "IDeA's subsidiary Local Government Information House Ltd (LGIH) entered a joint venture agreement with Property Intelligence plc (PI). The joint venture means PI's Intelligent Addressing consultancy unit (IA) will create an embryo National Land and Property Gazetteer from a number of national address datasets which will then be fine tuned with the input from Local Authorities. To assist those Local Authorities who do not yet have a BS7666 compliant Land and Property Gazetteer, Intelligent Addressing are offering a creation service via the IDeA to all Local Authorities. What is going to happen? The embryo NLPG will be created from existing GB-wide datasets such as the Council Tax Lists and Ordnance Survey Address-Point and Intelligent Addressing's existing commercial property Gazetteer which includes the Non-Domestic Rating Lists." ----- so that's clear isn't it!
