Better local data, better local decisions

Local data is important for evidence-based policy making at the local level. Drawing on Centre for Cities’ recent publication, L.A. Evidential, this event is an opportunity to hear from ONS Local and a local authority on how local data has developed in the UK, how local authorities can use data, and the ongoing challenges of using data and evidence.
