A new, free resource to help find the most up-to-date local data, stats and trends has been unveiled by Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC).
Known as the Nottinghamshire Observatory, it offers insight and analysis of the latest local trends to help with research, funding bids and ultimately help attract more investment to the county.
The functions include:
- A search facility for data on a wide range of themes or topic areas from economic trends to insights in health.
- Accessing county-wide stats or specific district, ward and neighbourhood data.
- Generating high-quality charts, graphs, and maps.
Plans for the Observatory includes introducing even more local data for areas such as parishes and county electoral divisions.
One of the many organisations already benefitting from the new resource is NBV Enterprise Solutions Ltd, a business support organisation. Regional Director, Andrea Huscroft, commented that the Nottinghamshire Observatory is a valuable tool for NBV when developing new services. She said:
“It offers a seamless blend of comprehensive demographic data, unparalleled ease of use, and accurate information searchable by postcode.”

NB: The Observatory doesn’t cover data which relates to the city area; however it does link to a site which covers Nottingham City data: https://www.nottinghaminsight.org.uk.
