]]> Comment on Local names for Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs) by Diane Edwards https://wmro.wordpress.com/2009/01/16/local-names-for-msoas/#comment-1582 Fri, 14 Jan 2011 08:26:19 +0000 http://wmro.wordpress.com/?p=1397#comment-1582 Graham,
I have tried to extend my list of Local Names to all of England on behalf of the UK Association of Cancer Registries. So far this has yielded a few additions to ONS ‘official list’ but by no means a complete list. The other problem with this kind of harvested list is that each local authority that has provided them have applied different naming conventions and have different field lengths. I am happy to share what I have.

I have asked ONS Geography through its User Group to pick up this piece of work and whilst receiving a broadly positive response I get the feeling it is not considered high priority. Requests from other users may help to raise the importance of local names.

Regards
Diane
