Southwark Council To Put Interactive Mapping At The Heart of Online Community Services

Details: Created on March 11, 2010

Pitney Bowes Business Insight (PBBI) – a global provider of location intelligence, data management and customer communication management software, data and services – today announces that Southwark Council in London is using PBBI’s web mapping technology Stratus Connect™ to significantly enhance the mapping services provided to citizens via the Council’s website, delivering the type of seamless and intuitive user experience that online citizens have come to expect from the Web 2.0 world.

Known as Southwark Interactive Mapping, the citizen services provided via Stratus Connect can be launched through www.southwark.gov.uk/YourServices/maps

Southwark Council is overhauling its online mapping features in two key areas. The first is to provide a dedicated one-stop-shop interactive mapping service that enables citizens to activate overlays on top of a detailed map of the borough – for example, clicking on ‘Controlled parking zones’ instantly highlights the relevant areas on the map. Other overlay options include ‘Schools’, ‘Recycling Sites’, ‘Planning Applications’ and ‘Conservation Areas’. Citizens are also able to: search for locations; browse mapping, aerial photography and historical mapping; and quickly display nearby services.
