About Me - David Caldwell

I'm David Caldwell, the founder and driving force behind Streetlist.co.uk. With a rich career spanning over two decades in local government, web development, and geographic information systems (GIS), I've dedicated my professional life to understanding and improving the ways we interact with our local geography.

My expertise is in address data and I am an advocate for the UPRN (unique property reference number) which when done correctly links public sector information with spatial data.

In my career I have been involved with street naming and numbering and am an advocate for best practices such as BS7666. Knowledgeable in local government legislation such as the Town Improvement Act Clause 1847 and the Public Health Act 1925 I understand that correct addressing not only helps the provision of post and deliveries it also vital for emergency services to find those seeking help.

My Journey:

My journey began with a deep interest in the intersection of technology and geography. After earning a Diploma in Computer Science and a Certificate in Information Technology and Computing from The Open University, I embarked on a career that took me through various roles in local government. Here, I honed my skills in spatial data analysis, land charges management, and public service innovation.

Our coverage spans across postcode areas, counties, councils, individual streets, and even specific postcodes. But at the heart of Streetlist.co.uk is a fundamental belief: streets aren't merely composed of buildings and concrete. They're vibrant tapestries of communities and individuals, each with its unique story to tell. This is why we're committed to community engagement. We invite communities to participate, ask questions, and share knowledge, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration.

So why wait? Dive into Streetlist.co.uk, engage with your community, and embark on a journey to explore the UK, one street at a time.
