The on-line consultation survey that accompanies this blog covers a number of high level output issues. If we get a good response from across the different user communities the results will provide a valuable "snap-shot" of the opinions users hold on these issues but, given the intrinsic nature of a questionnaire, it will not tell us much about WHY users hold the opinions they do. I hope you will use the blog to expand on the responses you have given to some of the closed questions.
To facilitate that I intend picking up on different themes raised in the questionnaire on a regular basis and starting “threads” of discussion on the blog. In my next posting I will list forthcoming themes but please use the blog to suggest or start discussions on other high level output issues/themes that you consider to be important. To kick off, I would like to pick up on the theme of accessing Census data via the web.

car & van ownership

Development Control officers have several times asked me to tell them car ownership rates by dwelling types (not tenure) and by dwelling size. This is to define parking provision for a particular development to reflect local conditions. The 1991 census had this as a SAS table but not the 2001. Please can we have this - or be able to do it ourselves. Interactive table creation sounds like a great idea and will be very useful.
Otherwise the 2001 census has been very good and has served us very well.
