Introduction
This area provides a range of open source data platforms that data specialists across the partnership rely on. Each page describes the respective platform, its contents, and how to access and navigate it. If you need help, you can contact one of our data specialists through the contact us section.
Data Sources
Average Distance to nearest Park, Public Garden, or Playing Field (m)
This dataset shows the average distance to the nearest park, public garden or playing field in metres. Data is based on analysis of Ordnance Survey (OS) data on access to private gardens, public parks and playing fields in Great Britain, available by country, region, Local Authority and Lower Layer Super Output Area.
Note: There are some areas which are not covered by the source data which leads to small amounts of missing LSOA data.
Broadband Speed
Broadband is a high-speed internet connection that allows you to access and enjoy various online services and content. Unlike the older dial-up connections, broadband provides much faster speeds, enabling activities like streaming videos, online gaming, and video conferencing without significant delays.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero publish national statistics on UK local authority and regional gas emissions. The greenhouse gases covered by these statistics are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. In accordance with international reporting and carbon trading protocols, each of these gases is weighted by its global warming potential (GWP), so that total greenhouse gas emissions can be reported on a consistent basis (in carbon dioxide equivalent units). The GWP for each gas is defined as its warming influence relative to that of carbon dioxide. The GWPs used in these statistics are from Working Group 1 of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2013.
Recycling
Recycling Rate data is the percentage of household waste sent for reuse, recycling or composting. It is derived from WasteDataFlow (web-based-system for municipal waste reporting by UK local authorities to Government). The WasteDataFlow system went live on 30 April 2004.
Air quality
Air quality can be assessed by the concentration of various pollutants in the air. The air quality indicator is compiled from four key air pollutants: Nitrogen dioxide, Benzene, Sulphur dioxide, and Particulates.
Map of Buckinghamshire
A boundary map is a map created for the purpose of outlining a boundary for an area and the areas next to it.
