UK 2022 Ward and Local Authority District Changes

Now that the 2021 census data has been released for England and Wales, the administrative geography is being updated too. Due to the changes made to the Administrative geography between censuses, we have to carry out these updates on your behalf. When you’re ready to update, contact us, and we’ll schedule an update date and time to move you across.

We've created a few documents to help our clients understand and manage the changes in Wards and Local Authority Districts.

The first document is a pdf file that explains how these geographies have changed since the last census and what that means for clients using these geographies in Vision. It also visually represents the changes, especially for the Local Authority Districts. You can download the file using the following link.
