- Created on May 21, 2008
“The integration of Environmental Health service records with GIS systems helps transform local government services under the governments national IT e-government program,” said Mike Nichols, IT Database Administrator. He continued, “GIS spatial analysis is a good key to providing good intelligence and I am delighted with the level of granular detail, in respect to the number of GIS overlays the GGP sync tool can manage.”
Wear Valley District Council is one of the seven local councils that form the county of Durham. The district extends from the centre of the county to its western boundary spanning over thirty miles of diverse landscape, including the Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the market towns of Bishop Auckland and Crook. The council provides a range of functions concerned with protecting public health and safety or protecting and improving the environment of the Wear Valley district.
GGP Systems specialise in GIS and gazetteer management software specifically designed for local government. The Croydon based company provides Councils with easy to use solutions for the creation and management of corporate property databases, the ability to add and use a spatial element to all location based information and a range of solutions to meet e-Government directives.
