London: 28 April 2010

The UK Company Intelligent Addressing has published a booklet titled: Underpinning Transformational Government: Celebrating ten years of the NLPG. The 72-page booklet contains case studies on the 2009 National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) and the National Street Gazetteer (NSG) awards.

The announcement states:

“The NLPG NSG Exemplar Awards highlight and celebrate how the NLPG and NSG initiatives deliver better services to citizens and save money. This 72 page booklet describes the 2009 Exemplar Awards winners’ and runners-up projects. Examples include:

• AXESS West Sussex Partnership has saved £18,500 per annum through rationalised back office systems and a further £13,000 capital costs savings through joint procurement
• Chorley Borough Council, enabled by an accurate address list from the NLPG, has identified additional income of more than £16,000 by identifying properties not on the Council Tax register.
• Through analyzing and rationalising its home to school transport, East Riding of Yorkshire Council has made an initial saving of £315,000 per annum, which will rise as the remaining schools undergo the re-routing and re-tendering process
• Blackpool Council has replaced its manual paper based systems for tracking public requests for traffic and highway schemes, resulting in dramatic increases in efficiency and an estimated saving of £30,000 per annum. Its improved forward highways maintenance plans has resulted in approximately 10-20% less waste equivalent to £250,000 per annum.”
