Local government

Welcome

As the central government department that maps England, Scotland and Wales, we have built close relationships with local government organisations over many years.

Thanks to the Mapping Services Agreement (MSA), over 500 local government organisations are able to use our geographical information. It can help you in the following ways:

• Improving efficiency
• Service delivery
• Highway management
• Social care
• Waste management

Forthcoming events

Local Government Association Conference

1–3 July, Bournemouth

Visit our stand T19 in Tregonwell Hall at the Bournemouth International Centre to learn how our map data can help councils realise demonstrable savings; you can also collect your free map of the area, produced especially for conference delegates.

We attend a range of local government-related events as well as organising a programme of seminars for Authority Liaison Officers.
