Missed this last week!

Very proud that our approach to #servicedirectories based on Open Referral UK #OpenData standards made the HSJ Awards shortlist!

So grateful to DigitalGaps for driving this with us & to Tim Adams, ex Local Government Association (LGA) & Mike Thacker 🚴‍♀️ of Porism (Nov 2022 - now part of www.placecube.com) for guidance🙏

Well Tony Blackburn OBE. hasn't changed at all after all these years. Was only listening to him this morning.

Also your chance to sit in a helicopter with a smiley face Scott!

Aww thank you Sam Roberts 💚 for thinking of saying this. It means an awful lot to me. Keep up the momentum as our combined vision for consistent data standards, transparency & shared data will make for a better understanding and improved public services. #localgov has much to offer.

Thank you for taking the trouble to write Georgina. I will miss all of this but keep an eye on the constant progress being made. It is great to see how the technical and supplier community is working so closely with #localgov these days under your careful oversight.

Yah. #localgov are you listening? Take a look openreferraluk.org

Awww gosh Linda. Thank you. I learnt so much from you and your team. Public services become so much better when our sectors work together and support each other. I see your vision. It will be impossible for me to not keep watching the great progress that I know will be made x

Thank you Jane. It was always such a joy talking with you and we all learned so much from your real world experiences. Please continue to support the #data programme at Local Government Association (LGA) as there are some really helpful new initiatives soon to be launched.

Gosh. Sincere thanks to my many friends & partners in ISspatialhub & scottishgov. Thanks for so much advice & sharing between the data activities workingtogether for both our nations. Keep pushing. It is slow but progress is being made. #data science #data #LocalGovernment

Thank you Gayle. Great friends at GeoPlace. I started my work in #localgov with #UPRNs over 20 years ago and it is great to see they are now mainstream. We have to keep pushing. #datastandards #localgov

Thanks Gavin. So many attempts to progress the take up of data standards but it is hard work! Steve Peters always called our toilets spec a “bog standard”. Has been great to see your transition and success from #localgov to placecube

Thanks Greg. We have not given up with #OpenReferral in the UK. It is just taking longer than we hoped. Slow, steady progress! #localgov #opendata #datastandards
