Representative
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.

Wards to be phased out

Primary Care Trusts have been increased in average size from about 120k to 500k populations. Public health departments will thus look at far larger populations and anything that decreases the ability to drill down will be seen as a negative move.
I would still like data to be available by political Wards.
