MPS Stolen Animals Dashboard Data

***April 2025 These data-sets, and the associated MPS Stolen Animals Dashboard, are no longer being updated. *** The data used in the MPS Stolen Animals Dashboard Data is available here MPS Stolen Animals Dashboard Data - London Datastore, along with the related data definitions. Please note that, this data set is running monthly, a month in arrears. The data shows a count of stolen animals as shown on the dashboard linked below (including count, borough, pet type, recover, year/ month and the offence type).The count is calculated by the pet count so there may be one offence/ crime record of dogs stolen, but if there were three dogs stolen during the offence then we will use the pet count of three.

London Underground Average Monthly Temperatures

London Underground records temperatures across the Underground in order to inform our cooling initiatives.Platform temperatures on the deep Tube are routinely monitored using data loggers. Average monthly evening peak temperatures since 2013 are provided on this page.We are investing millions as part of a long-term programme to ensure we can deliver more services, and continue to introduce new trains to meet growing customer numbers whilst providing more comfortable journeys. We have implemented energy efficient solutions on new trains, which saves energy and reduces the heat generated. We have also removed heat from our station and tunnel environment by installing new ventilation or cooling solutions.On the Central line we have installed solar reflective material on the external surface of train roofs and solar reducing films on windows to minimise solar gains into the carriages.On the Victoria line we have doubled the capacity of thirteen ventilation shafts, which provide more air flow, as well as introduced regenerative braking (which returns power to the rails while the train is braking) on the new trains. We have also installed air cooling units and mechanical chillers at some key busy stations, such as Oxford Circus, and have been using groundwater underneath Victoria Tube station to provide cooling to the platforms. We are similarly using water from the aquifer underneath Green Park to provide cooling for that Tube station. In addition, we have upgraded existing ventilation fans and installed new fans at a number of stations across the network.As part of this work to make customer journeys more comfortable, we are also working to reduce temperatures inside carriages. 192 new air-conditioned trains are now in operation on the Circle, District, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. Note: Sub-surface lines are the Circle, Hammersmith & City, District and Metropolitan lines.

Registered Social Landlords Average Rents

Amount charged by Registered Social Landlord (Private Registered Provider (PRP)) Average Weekly Rents for social housing.Data is collected by the Housing Corporation via the annual Regulatory and Statistical Return (RSR) based on general needs stock only.Figures are based on only the larger Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) completing the long form. Upto 2006 the threshold for completing the long form was that the RSL owned/ managed at least 250 units/bedspaces. From 2007 this increased to 1,000 units/bedspaces.The districts, unitary authorities and counties listed above are based on 1 April 1998 boundaries. Figures for any 'new' re-organised areas have been estimated retrospectively applying the new boundaries back to 1997 and making appropriate assumptions.Note that the average RSL rents within a local authority area can move down from one year to the next. This is especially true if, during the latest year, most of the LA stock has been transferred through a large-scale voluntary transfer to the RSL sector.Larger housing associations report the rent they charge in the HCA’s Statistical Data Return.Data in spreadsheet includes average weekly rents for housing association general needs properties by number of bedrooms, in London by borough (stock owned by larger associations only).*NOTE: This dataset has been discontinued and will no longer be receiving updates!*

Local Authority Average Rents

Amount charged weekly by Local Authorities for social housing. Rents data are based on the financial year.Stock figures used to estimate the average for each county, region and the nation are taken at 1st April of the following financial year. Average rents data between 2003/04 and 2007/08 inclusively is based on total stock figures from Housing Revenue Account (HRA) audited base claim form. Before 2003/04 the average rents data is based on total stock figures from the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) second subsidy claim form.Rents data for 2008/09 are based on total stock figures as at the beginning of the financial year. This data is taken from the HRA subsidy base data form. Average rent data for this year are provisional and will be updated when stock data at the start of the following financial year become available.For a few authorities no rent figure is given because the stock is now very small and the authority no longer reports average rents. For some local authorities the average rent for 2003/04 is lower than in 2002/03. This may be due to some local authorities supplying net rents excluding service charges from 2003/04 onwards. Prior to 2003/04 some of them may have been including service charges in their rent figures. Average rent figures do not account for stock composition.'LSVT': all or most of the local authority stock has been transferred to the RSL sector, so the average rent is no longer applicable. LSVTs are not taken into account when calculating county, regional or national averages. MYT (Mid-Year Transfer) refers to those authorities that have transferred their stock in full, part way through the financial year.Where a local authority has transferred part of it's stock mid-year, the stock figure used to estimate averages is taken as at 1st April the following financial year. MYT information is provided from 2003/04 onwards only. Prior to 2003/04 average rents figures may be based on stock figures at the start of the financial year prior to any mid-year transfer.The districts, unitary authorities and counties listed above are based on 1 April 1998 boundaries. Figures for any 'new' re-organised areas have been estimated retrospectively applying the new boundaries back to 1996. Average rents data for 2003/04 and onwards are based on a standardised 52 week collection. Data prior to 2003/04 may have been reported on various different collection scales. Average rent is calculated from stock-owning local authorities that have provided data.View Live Tables on Rents and Tenancies on DCLG websiteAverage rents for council owned stock are reported in section H of the Local Authority Housing Statistics data

Youth Systems Map

The GLA Civil Society and Sport Unit Youth Team have commissioned London Metropolitan University Centre for Applied Research in Empowering Society (CARES) team to undertake research into the challenges that young Londoners face, to help shape the GLA’s holistic approach to empowering the voice of young Londoners.The project involves reviewing evidence gathered by the GLA to map out the ecosystem and interactions that underpin youth social action in London, as well as participatory research with active participation from members of London’s youth community.You can view the interactive map here - GLA Youth Social Action Link to the map ---> https://kumu.io/LondonMet-CARES/gla-youth-social-action#ysa-map-1 The presentation supporting the map, presenting the research approach and findings and providing a guide for using the map: https://londonmet-cares.kumu.io/youth-social-action-systems-map Access the 'Understanding Youth Social Action' report pdf at the bottom of this page.The report Understanding Youth Social Action offers a detailed exploration of London’s Youth Ecosystem. The research underpinning the report was conducted by the Centre for Applied Research in Empowering Society (CARES) at London Metropolitan University and was commissioned by the Greater London Authority, Co-created with young Londoners, the research employed a participatory learning action (PLA) approach that involved focus groups, arts-based activities, Vox-Pop, and podcasting with young people. Additionally, the research used a wide range of documentary evidence to better understand young people's participation in social action. The analysis was framed by the socio-ecological and COM-B analytical models, prioritising youth voice, and understanding young people's lived experiences within their broader eco-system.Key findings highlight the importance of young people's epistemic privilege, their voice, trust, agency, social justice, and belonging in enabling meaningful youth social action. Barriers such as financial limitations, exclusion, and underrepresentation are identified, while facilitators include inclusive practices, youth-led co-production, and community engagement. This work is significant for policymakers and programme developers, providing actionable insights to improve youth initiatives. An interactive London Youth System Map , visualises the complex interactions determining youth participation in social action across the city.Map Video explainer introduced by Professor Diana Stirbu ---> https://youtu.be/9GtvKn31qOQ?si=p65dRCyqcYRzx-Sk

London Plan Business Improvement Districts

A Business Improvement District (BID) is a defined area within which local businesses are required to pay an additional levy. The collected tax will be invested locally to fund projects within the district's boundaries. The BID is often funded primarily through the levy but can also draw on other public and private funding streams. There are currently 70 London BIDs with new ones being developed every year.Note: The dataset was created by the GLA's GIS team through digitisation of maps published by the BID creators. These original mapsvary in quality and scales of resolution, as a result the GLA cannot guarantee the exact boundary locations.There is an inconsistency between the number of BID polygons and number of BIDs, this is due to some BID polygons having multiple BID types e.g. Town Centre, Property and Industrial. Please direct an queries you may have to the contacts below.

London Surface Water Strategy

London's first surface water strategy is published here London's Surface Water Strategy | London City Hall This data forms part of the data and evidence base used to form the strategy. Strategy Catchments Surface Water Catchment Partnerships (SWCPs) boundaries where relevant organisations should create the conditions to share resources, plan jointly and manage resources effectively. Flood Impact Assessment This dataset is a London-wide dataset which provides an assessment of the impacts of flood risk across London. The data is presented using Hex Grids as its spatial unit (350m x 350m), ensuring an assessment which considers exposure, vulnerability, and consequences to inform decision making where risk is greatest. Figures 10 (current risk) and Figure 13 (future risk) from the Strategy are generated using this dataset, using the methodology described in Appendix F. Refer to metadata for column headings and descriptions Solutions Needs Assessment This dataset covers part of London which is considered to be at greater than average risk of flooding, as defined in Appendix B of the strategy. The dataset sets out which interventions are most effective in a particular subcatchment to reduce surface water flood risk, using the ‘Capture, Control, Adapt and Respond’ intervention framework as shown in Figure 15 in the Strategy. Subcatchments represent the indicative source, or receptor, areas in which action (‘Capture’, ‘Control’, ‘Adapt and Respond’) should be taken to address strategic priorities. These strategic priority areas are those areas which manifest either as flooded, or which provide a source of runoff that manifests flooding elsewhere. Further information can be found in Appendix J of the Strategy

London Multiply Programme

The Multiply Programme, announced by the then Chancellor in 2021, was a three-year adult learning programme with an objective to increase functional numeracy levels within the adult population across the UK. The city’s wide skills disparity, combined with its population density, resulted in a total Multiply funding allocation for the GLA of £41m for the programme duration of September 2022 to March 2025, the highest for any area in England. The London Multiply programme was delivered by 56 providers, all of whom were already delivering GLA Adult Skills Fund provision. To increase awareness of, and enrolment in, London Multiply provision, £3.5m of the GLA’s Multiply allocation was reserved for activities to support engagement and growth in the learner population. This included £1.4m for community engagement and outreach, funding an expansion of the Community Outreach Programme to increase its numeracy focus, and the London Multiply Roadshow. In addition to the ten core interventions for Multiply (both nationally and in London), London Multiply identified additional target groups, including underserved groups and those less likely to engage in adult education. These included: ■ learners for whom English is not their first language;■ learners with special educational needs and/or disabilities; and■ low wage earners and those most likely to be impacted by the rising cost of living The Institute of Employment Studies were commissioned to undertake an evaluation of the London Multiply programme. The evaluation of London Multiply set out to explore the extent to which the programme achieved its aim of improving adult numeracy across the city. It also aimed to strengthen evidence on what works in delivering adult numeracy programmes, particularly for underserved communities. A range of research methods were used to explore the experiences of London Multiply from the viewpoints of different stakeholders, including classroom observations, provider interviews, surveys and focus groups. The report and executive summary sets out the key evaluation findings and provides recommendations to enhance the legacy of London Multiply.

Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion Measures

This dataset supports the Mayor's equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy published in 2018. It brings together publicly available data relevant to equalities in London into a series of measures. These will be updated over time to monitor the delivery of the strategy.After the Covid-19 pandemic struck in 2020, there was a need to capture and bring together appropriate data and research to monitor London through the recovery period. As a result, the GLA set up the London Covid-19 Resilience Dashboard and inequalities in London were monitored through this, while updates of the original EDI measures were discontinued.In November 2022 the Mayor published a new set of equality objectives to replace those published in the original strategy from 2018. As a result, the EDI measures have been adapted to reflect these new objectives and these will be updated on a regular basis. A series of dashboards has also been created from the latest set of EDI measures, which enable users to visualise the data.The Mayor's Annual Equality Reports set out the progress made against the latest equality, diversity and inclusion objectives published in November 2022.
