Our clients say
We have been using Local Data Online to provide evidence on town centre vacancy rates for local retail centres around Devon. This has been particularly useful for both our monitoring of pandemic economic impacts that we report locally and to government and for designing targeted interventions to form part of a Devon Covid economic recovery package of measures.
Jon Selby
Economic Development Officer
Devon County Council
Working with Local Data Company and their online platform is providing us with a great live view of the ever-changing retail centre landscape. Being able to monitor the impacts of retailer closures/changes by individual locations using the dynamic LDO dashboard has become an essential part of our location assessments.

Too Good To Go
The data LDC provides through their Online Insights Platform and quarterly scorecards is giving us valuable insights into the composition of high streets and town centres across Lambeth. We can explore the mix of uses, vacancies and other key characteristics in much finer-grained detail than we have been able to using other datasets.
Laura Davy
Head of High Streets
Lambeth Council
We make extensive use of the LDO dashboard to put data behind the decision-making process across the core areas of our retail business. The Location Overview, vacancy rate and Health Index features dovetail with our other data sources to inform understanding of the strengths of an asset as well as potential areas for improvement. LDO is particularly effective in providing a consistent view across our own assets and those in the wider market. This understanding feeds into our ever-evolving asset strategies in addition to informing the investment decisions we take. We also use the Retailer Overview and Fastest-Growing features with our Brand Account Management team. These features inform how we support our established brand partners in executing their strategy as well as identifying the next generation of occupiers to feed into our target list.
