Mapping for your council - Ordanance Survey PSMA

Ordnance Survey provides mapping data to town, parish and community councils through the Public Sector Mapping Agreement. This mapping data allows communities to identify trends and spot opportunities’ to improve services to their local population.

If a picture can paint 1,000 words, imagine what a map of your local information could show. Geographic information can help identify the location of the problem you’re looking to solve. You can share complex information visually on a map background, and then share these local issues with your community and interested parties.

Town, parish and community councils are using mapping to:
  • Plan community events and road closures
  • Manage risks of surface water flooding
  • Record health and safety inspections
  • Develop community planning applications
  • Profile resources and assets for future community needs
  • To show developments within a neighbour plan
  • Neighbourhood Development Plans.
