Why data-led stories matter to elected mayors
Elected mayors oversee wide-ranging portfolios that shape everyday life across their city regions.
Whether it is in illustrating how bus usage is falling in the wards with the highest employment deprivation or that affordable-housing demand outstrips supply around newly opened tram stops, a data driven approach can move your pitch from abstract to urgent.
Polimapper lets you surface and share such insights instantly so every briefing, meeting or email lands with unmistakable clarity.

Common use cases for mayoral engagement
Pitching transport funding
Highlight congestion pinch points, overlay public-transport usage and demonstrate the economic cost of delays to argue for targeted investment in active-travel corridors or bus priority lanes.
Shaping the city-region plan
Map affordable-housing waiting lists against brownfield opportunities and regeneration zones to identify where new development delivers maximum social value.
Targeting public-health interventions
Combine air-quality readings with asthma hospital-admission rates to make a compelling case for clean-air zones or greener fleet procurement.
Strengthening community-safety proposals
Visualise violent-crime hotspots alongside CCTV coverage and youth-diversion projects to support bids for additional community-safety funding.
Driving economic-development bids
Showcase clusters of high-growth SMEs, skills shortages and transport connectivity to persuade mayors to back business-support programmes or enterprise zones.
If a dataset isn’t publicly available our team can advise on Freedom of Information requests or methods to convert raw figures into mayoral geographies.
