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.

OAs defined by MasterMap features

Hi Nick
I'd be really keen for ONS to take forward the proposal to look in more detail at relating OAs boundaries to MasterMap features. I think this would really introduce a more coherent heirarchy of geographies right down to individual features/TOIDs. It would be a shame if licencing issues got in the way of this opportunity to join up!
Best wishes
Justin
