Parish Online Introduction and Training

Course Description

All parish and town councils need access to good quality maps and aerial photography of their area. Whether it be for Neighbourhood Planning, looking at the potential impact of a planning application, or recording where the dog bins are, digital mapping is at the heart of efficient and effective council management.

Northants CALC is collaborating with our partners at Parish Online, suppliers of mapping tools to more than 850 parish and town councils across the UK for over 10 years, to put on an event to showcase the benefits and advantages of online mapping.

This is an interactive course  and offers the opportunity to network with Councillors from Councils across Northamptonshire to share best practice and ideas. 

Key areas covered in this course include:

  • Introduction to Parish Online
  • Example Uses
  • Fundamentals of digital mapping
  • Learning the drawing features
  • Learning common tools
  • Configuring data sharing and publishing
  • Q&A
