GeoPlace
GeoPlace is owned equally by the Local Government Association and Ordnance Survey and we act as a co-ordinator, supporting the nation’s street and addressing data creators, making that information widely available through Ordnance Survey and our statutory partners.
Working together with our partners, we maintain one of the nation’s largest, most valuable shared assets – standardised address and street indexes that are trusted by the whole of the public sector, the private sector and beyond
Accurate street and addressing data underpins the digital economy, inspires innovation, and keeps Britain moving forwards. That may be in the form of information to define last-mile deliveries and services, nationwide. It may be in the form of confident planning; policy-making at all levels; complex risk analysis or simple connections between datasets that identify who needs which level of support, where, and when.
Britain runs more effectively when we use the right data, and authoritative street and address data is one of our nation’s most valuable assets.
