Parish Online

Parish Online is a simple to use service, accessed via the web, to provide Parish Clerks, Councillors and support staff with access to maps and aerial photography of their parish. Using a normal web browser users have access to a full range of Ordnance Survey mapping and Getmapping aerial photography which they can view and search down to individual address level and then mark-up, annotate, save, print, email or publish to their website.

Parish Online will become an indispensable tool to illustrate and communicate everything from litter bin locations to a full Parish Plan. It can also be used for local events to indicate temporary car parking or preferred traffic routes, in fact anything a Parish might wish to put on a map.

Parish Online will provide the following functions and benefits:

• On line access to up-to-date Ordnance Survey maps of the parish: Parish Online always uses the latest maps which are maintained centrally.
• Online access to detailed Aerial Photography of the parish: Detailed aerial photography enables users to see exactly what is on the ground and can help Parish Councils to formulate and communicate their plans more effectively.
• Facilities to mark-up and store maps with parish information such as the position of litter bins, the extent of proposed developments or temporary traffic arrangements. The ability to annotate maps is a powerful management tool for Parish Councils. These annotations can form the basis of the Parish Plan.
• Facilities for visually analysing information collected by the Parish such as the frequency and location of graffiti, fly tipping etc. Knowing where the problems are helps the parish to be managed more effectively
• Use the maps to allow members of the public to view information and comment on the Parish web site. Communicating with parish members on line helps to keep the community involved in local affairs.
