Problem: We are trying to get hold of pre-2009 electoral ward boundaries as a shape file. Ordnance survey say they can only supply the 2010 BoundaryLine dataset. The data appears to existing under the control of UKBORDERS but it is only available to academics. This is daft.

Solution: Get OS to supply historical datasets as part of Opendata

Proposal: Use it to analyse trends in homeworking and home based business region by region and identify the best locations to provide support services like "workhubs".
