NLPG Most creative
WinnerDartford Borough Council
The project used the LLPG to co-ordinate information from various sources about theeergy efficiency of properties within the Dartford area. This formed part of the Councilssustainable homes strategy. Information was combined from Building Control,Development Control, Estates, Housing, British Gas, Council Tax and survey work fromlocal residents to create a SAP rating of properties within Dartford. This informationwasused to target improvements to properties with the help of external organistions, toprovide evidence to policy makers.
This project shows how the UPRN can collate various datasets into a commonframework and provide a way for this information to be shared among partners. Thecurrent system is scaleable and allows for additional data to be included when required.Dartford Borough Council has been able to target limited resources in dealing withproblem areas which has resulted in real improvements in the quality of life for residents.This abilty to present maps and other forms of data to property level has helped promotethe issues over climate change and energy efficiency measures.

NLPG Best Business Transformation
WinnerSouth Tyneside Council
Making the most of Council held information to transform service delivery has beencentral to South Tyneside Council since 2004. The Varney report on ServiceTransformation recommended that 50% of activity should be moved from the phone tothe web. This is borne out by the latest published figures for typical transaction costswith 0.17p for a web transaction, 4.00 for a phone transaction and 7.81 for a face-to-face transaction (Source: NWEGG). The N14 'Avoidable Contact' indicator has provedcontroversial and SOCITM says that all enquiries coming into a council through non-webchannels for information and transactions that are available on the web should beregarded as 'avoidable contacts'. For this reason one of the Council's main objectivescontinues to focus on improving the provision of citizen focused information andtransactional opportunities, through automation, improved access and a personalisedalert service all enabled by their LLPG.
Runner-upChiltern District Council
Chiltern District Council has realised significant savings, increased service efficienciesand improvements in customer care by re- engineering business processes using theLLPG within a corporate environment, diminishing the number of disparate addressdatabases held within the authority from 29 to one. As well as underpinning the Council'sown information systems, the LLPG has been used in a GIS based partnership internetportal called 'Bucksmaps' for over six years. Chiltern is also embarking on a project thatincludes assessing the County Fire and Rescue Services addresses against the LLPG.

Best use of NLPG data by a partner
WinnerNottingham City Council
A partnership between Nottingham City Council, the Environment Agency andNottingham Regeneration Limited.
The River Leen and Day Brook Flood Risk Assessment is a partnership project aimed atinforming land use planning decisions regarding flood risk and regeneration around anarea that was once heavily used by water-intensive and highly polluting industries. TheLLPG was used to inform the number and nature of properties within the flood risk areasso that better informed decisions and communication strategies could be produced. Thisproject is an example of the full use and value of the LLPG, not only as a source of thelatest, most accurate and complete address information but also an example of theadded value and granularity of data that can be harvested from back office systems thathave been integrated to the LLPG via the UPRN.

Runner-upSedgefield Borough Council
Partners include: Sedgefield Borough Council and the Sedgefield Borough Crime andDisorder Reduction Partnership.
Sedgefield Borough Council has one of the lowest crime rates in the UK; 26% lower thanthe national average, but the fear of crime and the effect crime may have on theneighbourhoods, does not reflect this. The aim of this partnership project has been toaddress the fear of crime and strategically target resource to areas where crime ratesare highest. The aim of the project is to bring together Sedgefield Borough Council andthe Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership in order to develop a strategic approachto the very localised issues of crime and anti-social behaviour.
Using NLPG data from the Customer Service Centre crime, antisocial behaviour can betargeted at the Neighbourhood Level addressing the fear of crime and substantiallyimprove specific areas. Sedgefield Borough Council will become part of a wider newunitary council in April 2009. As such the ground-breaking approach of the Sedgefield
Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership could be rolled out across the new authorityas a model of Partnership working.

NSG Best Streetworks Application
WinnerLondon Borough of Camden
Nowhere in the country is management of the highways and traffic movement moredemanding than in central London. The system at Camden enables residents to reporthighway problems online and the public have access to a comprehensive web-basedrecord of all street works taking place. Since implementing the programme, the Councilhas drastically transformed the service for customers and has significantly improvedback office efficiency. A key component is the web-based street works register, whichprovides details of the Council's own road works, as well as utility company works,temporary road closures an application for skip, crane and scaffold licences. Residentscan also now sign-up for e-alerts to receive information about works happening in theirstreet.
Runner-upKent Highways Servcies Alliance
Kent Highway Services Alliance relies upon the Local Street Gazetteer to deliver servicelevel improvements in response to citizens' demands for speedy identification and repairof potholes and other road defects. Advice from Councillors, citizen surveys, mediamonitoring and call centre records consistently identify the efficient and effective repair ofpotholes etc. as a prime public demand. Kent inspects and maintains over 8000kilometres of highway. The LSG provided the essential tool to review road hierarchy andHighway Safety Inspectors' routes, leading to an integrated 'start to finish' systemconnecting up the Customer Call Centre, Highway Inspectors, and street defect repaircontractors.

WinnerKent Highways Services Aliiance
Kent Highway Services Alliance, in partnership with Kent Wildlife Trust, Kent HeritageConservation and street works promoters, is successfully protecting Kentsenvironmental, cultural and historical heritage.
The Local Street Gazetteer, and an innovation for graphic display of Associated StreetData, are essential means to safeguard Kents wildlife and ancient monuments frompotential damage by street works activity. Kent has 55 miles of verges rich in flora andfauna including dormice, butterflies and grass snakes. Richard Moyse, Kent WildlifeTrusts Head of Conservation and Policy, states Kents Roadside Nature Reserves playa crucial role in conserving wild habitats and rare wild plants, including many species oforchid. By making sure they are shown in the ASD, we're able to remove risk ofaccidental damage to wildlife by works on the road verge. As a result, wildlife cancontinue to enjoy Kents road verges, and people can continue to enjoy roadsidewildlife.
