About
The ONS is keen to establish a long term, small area geography policy which will be used for Census 2011 and Neighbourhood Statistics. The aim is to support the production of coherent and useful data that can be used with confidence by all organisations.
The consultation paper is available online. This describes all policy proposals, the background to them, and a number of attendant issues. Please take the time to get involved by responding to the survey and joining in the debate around the blog posts.

I use the OAs alot, because I need to get an understanding of where affluence and education levels are highest in a city and it's hinterland. SOA just won't be detailed enough. I don't mind you changing the methodology per se, but as I use a very simple mapping prgramme linked to postcodes, the data must be easily and meaningfully convertable into that format. Please ensure that the detailed analysis is preserved too.
Thanks
