The one thing I would like to see if anyone is designing a generic 'ward

I can understand the attraction of this, but I'm not sure it's as useful
as you might think. There are many reasons why a candidate might live
outside their ward, so without knowing those reasons there aren't many
helpful conclusions you can draw from the knowledge.
Perhaps - in my ward the distance from the ward seems to be an
indication of how serious the candidate is (paper candidates live over a
mile away, serious candidates live within the ward or neighbouring
wards). I don't know if that applies further afield though.
