The Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) is a BS7666 compliant address database maintained and used by the Council. As the database is maintained centrally and to a common standard it delivers real efficiencies and improvements in service delivery and interoperability when implemented throughout all parts of the organisation.

The authority is a Level 1 authority for the National Address Gazetteer.

National Street Gazetteer (NSG)

The National Street Gazetteer (NSG) is the definitive list of streets in England and Wales and is used by Local Authorities streetworks departments to coordinate the work that is being performed on the highway within their administrative area.

Statutory undertakers of highways duties (telecoms and utility companies) notify the highways/streetworks department of the relevant local authority that they wish to perform work on a particular road via reference to a Unique Street Reference Number (USRN).
