Property Information Drives Electoral Register

Using GGP's advanced Gazetteer Management Software, GGP NGz, Tandridge Council are one of the first to obtain a 100% adoption of the new standards maintaining compatibility between their National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) and their Electoral Register.

The NLPG is a modern day Domesday Book for England and Wales that lists and locates more than 32 million residential, business and non-mailing addresses each with a unique property reference number (UPRN) which provides a reference key to join related address records across different datasets such as the electoral register.

GGP NGz software, as used by Tandridge Council, has been developed to ensure a consistent, up to date and accurate base for all property-based information within the organisation. GGP NGz also manages the import and export of data between the local authority databases and the NLPG, the national hub and the complete product suite was one of the first two software solutions to receive accreditation for address data transfer (DTF 7.3) and is fully compliant with BS7666.

Tandridge Council were recently recognised, winning the 2009 Ministry of Justice Exemplar Award for Best Implementation of the Electoral Register Data Standard. The award was presented to Tandridge Council at a ceremony that formed part of the NLPG ‘Underpinning Transformational Government' conference which took place at the Victoria Park Plaza in London in December 2009.
