PUBLIC SECTOR: Councils step up lobbying over 'inaccurate' Census.
(From PR Week)
Byline: IAN HALL
Councils are stepping up their lobbying of the Government to revise what they see as 'inaccurate' 2001 Census results.
Results of the Census, run by the Office for National Statistics, were revealed four weeks ago. The population of many areas was much lower than the ONS's mid-year estimates, leaving councils in fear of budget cuts.
Councils in areas that have apparently had population falls are concerned they will have funding slashed, as a locality's population affects the grant it receives from central government.
Derby City Council and Westminster City Council are two such authorities leading the public affairs push.
Westminster representatives will meet the ONS on 11 November and will target Ruth Kelly MP, the Treasury minister responsible for the Census, in a letter-writing campaign.
