At last, this has now been fixed after a great deal of prompting from ourselves – UKCrimeStats, of Sussex Police, the NPIA and RKH. The corrected files have been uploaded to Police.uk with the November 2011 update and we have downloaded and uploaded them to UKCrimeStats. We have asked the NPIA to reward us for our efforts here – seems reasonable as everyone gains from this and we have pursued this matter at our own expense.
I am now closing the topic.
