Summary

National sources of information are valuable, but these are increasingly being supplemented with data from local sources collected by local information systems. These systems have a strong focus on meeting the data requirements of local policymakers and citizens by enabling users to interrogate, map, analyse and download local and national datasets.

This report looks at those systems and how they can be used to enhance performance at all stages of the policy design and delivery process.
