UK Location

UK Location is a UK pan-government initiative to improve the sharing and re-use of public sector location information.  Established following the publication of the UK Location Strategy, it incorporates the implementation of the strategy and the EC INSPIRE.  Coordination is through the Location Council, with the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs as the lead government department.

It will be delivered through a multi-year programme of work – the UK Location Programme. This is intended to deliver a significant change in the management of location information – one that introduces a new, innovative, and joined up service for government, business and citizens.
