Flintshire adopt Street and Property e-Government Solution from Aligned Assets

 

Flintshire County Council has chosen the Symphony Suite of software from Aligned Assets to manage both its Local Street Gazetteer (LSG) and its Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) as part of its ongoing e-Government strategy. The LSG will provide a complete list of all named and un-named streets, footpaths and thoroughfares within the Council whilst the LLPG will provide a common centrally managed listing of all land and property which can then be shared by disparate IT systems across Council departments.

 

As a highways authority Flintshire is currently working hard with Aligned Assets to merge its LSG under one roof with the help of Symphony. A major address matching exercise has begun to create a new cut of the LLPG and start links with the NLPG (National Land and Property Gazetteer) hub.

 

Managing the LLPG in real time will provide considerable benefits to the Council and there are already plans to link to the main Council systems for Council Tax, Electoral Roll and Planning. This will mean only one definitive source of addressing information instead of four or five and provide a Council wide search capability for anyone wanting to search on the LLPG.

 

Symphony iManage boasts an intuitive and user-friendly map based interface making it popular with those that have GIS experience and is BS7666 accredited. It can also allow access to the central data from any device anywhere through web services. For many councils, Symphony is helping to deliver on the e-government promise that every citizen in England will be able to electronically access all council services outside standard working hours. This can range from submitting a planning application to the online checking of a Council Tax balance. Over 35 councils in Britain are now using the Symphony Suite of Gazetteer Management and systems integration tools.
