This is the new on-line information service that allows partners in the Halton Strategic Partnership to pool and share information and knowledge on Halton and its local communities. The main benefit of the Observatory to anyone seeking data or information on the area is that interactive access to a wide range of information is available from just the one site. This saves you having to trawl many different sites, which is both frustrating and time consuming. If you would like use the Observatory please email Richard Stevens (richard.stevens@halton.gov.uk) for a username and password.

Features
The system presents data for the district, wards and super output areas of Halton. Users can select from a number of live, fully interactive applications for analysing and presenting the data – mapping, ranking, comparing, tabling, and profiling. Using data selected by you, the system can create 'thematic' maps, generate league tables and compare performance, or profile an area based on a number of indicators. All analysis results can then be emailed or downloaded.

Support & Information
For further information on the background of this project, or if you need any support or help in using the system, or would like to get involved in its development, email richard.stevens@halton.gov.uk

The darker areas of the map show the areas of Halton which contain the largest share of the total employment in the district. For example, Daresbury and Riverside have a high share of the district employment. The lighter areas, such as Hale, Norton North and Beechwood contain a lower proportion of the district employment.
