Data and Tools for Local Authorities
We provide local authorities with access to free data, tools and insights to help inform policy and decision-making. Covering topics including health, food access, housing, local economies and mobility, these resources help build a clearer picture of local needs and challenges.
The tools bring together robust data in accessible formats, making it easier to identify communities that may benefit most from support, understand the factors driving local outcomes, and monitor change over time. They can be used to support Joint Strategic Needs Assessments, strategy development, service planning, funding applications and programme evaluation.
By helping local authorities target resources more effectively and develop evidence-based responses to local challenges, HASP tools support better outcomes for residents and communities while ensuring public investment is directed where it can have the greatest impact.

Identify Priority Places for Food
Identify neighbourhoods across the UK that are vulnerable to increases in the cost of living and are most likely to need support to access affordable, healthy, and sustainable sources of food.
Priority Places for Food IndexCompare Priority Places for Food with Index of Multiple Deprivation
This tool highlights where general deprivation and food-related vulnerability align and where they do not, revealing important differences between neighbourhoods that may otherwise appear similar.
PPFI – IMD ExplorerCalculate Nutrient Profile Model Scores
The Nutrient Profile Model Calculator is a free, transparent, and easy-to-use tool designed to help users calculate Nutrient Profile Model (NPM) scores – without requiring prior expertise in nutrition or food regulations.
The calculator can help you identify which products are in, or out of, scope for HFSS legislation.
Nutrient Profile Model CalculatorIdentify E Food Deserts
The e-food desert index (EFDI) is a composite measure for Great Britain that assesses how neighbourhoods experience barriers to accessing groceries.
It combines four key factors: the availability and proximity of physical grocery stores, transport and accessibility, local socio-economic and demographic conditions, and the availability and use of online grocery (home delivery) services.

Footfall and Destination FlowSpeed Adherence Dashboard and Data
The Speeding Dashboard is an interactive tool designed to help researchers, policymakers, and road safety practitioners understand patterns of speed limit adherence across major British cities and regions.
Using anonymised GPS trajectory data from goods vehicles, the dashboard highlights where speeding is occurring and supports investigation into the environmental and network characteristics that may contribute to these behaviours.
