• Pre-census address matching: Unlocking Enhanced Funding for Kingston upon Thames & Sutton

  Timothy Langner Gazetteer Officer at The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames

  The gazetteer team at the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and Sutton Council, ensured that address data was as accurate as possible prior to the 2021 Census. This involved engaging with their regulatory services department to gather information on houses in multiple occupation. In addition, information on student halls of residence, 
  traveller sites, and houseboats was obtained, some of which involved street naming and numbering of addresses. The resulting increase in data quality led to more accurate funding allocations. This talk examines the steps taken prior to the Census and how new addresses and properties were discovered as a result.
