LSG solution for local authorities

As gazetteer specialists, we provide the market leading tools for a local authority to manage their Local Streets Gazetteer (LSG) as well as their Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG).  Our solution (iManage) is the most functionally rich and advanced available, enabling local authorities to create and maintain the streets and their geometry within their area in the British Standard BS7666, complete with the Unique Street Reference Number (USRN) and the individual street segments or Elementary Street Unit. It will also allow you to enter any additional street data you may need to record. This can then be shared with the national hub run by GeoPlace, as well as sharing with other important operational systems within the council such as planning and highways. Derived from a number of modules, our solution can be easily tailored to meet your specific needs.

Maintaining streets and Elementary Street Units

Our LSG gazetteer solution allows you to create and maintain streets and their descriptors. This includes the creation, splitting and merging of Elementary Street Units (ESUs).

Additional street data

Our LSG solution allows you to enter additional street data such as the adopting authority, interested organisations, maintenance agreements, special designation, height and width restrictions, direction of travel and other attributes specified by National Street Gazetteer standards.

Efficient address search

The address search module (SinglePoint) enables both people and other systems to search for streets held in the main LSG gazetteer. Its front end browser can be deployed across a local authority for any staff member to find a specific street. It also has a set of web services that enable a third party system to carry out a street search on the LSG gazetteer, enabling  a user or system to search across every element of a street address.

For those organisations using Esri ArcGIS, our integration solution Esri ArcGIS Search Locator, will allow you to search a street directly from Esri ArcGIS using the street data held in our LSG gazetteer.

Seamless integration

Having worked closely with the major suppliers of operational systems to the local authorities, our agile LSG gazetteer will integrate seamlessly with all major public sector systems, allowing you to enjoy the very best street management solution available with the operational system of your choice. All the resulting automated processes reduce the need for manual intervention, and therefore duplication of effort, saving time and money.

Organising spatial data

Our spatial data module (Location Manager) will organise all your spatial data from all the different systems and will publish this in any format to any user. This will cover any type of spatial data such as road networks, areas identified for repair, or flood zones, and are usually, though not restricted to, published as map files.

Tailoring our solution

You can either subscribe to our LSG gazetteer to manage and maintain in-house yourself, or we can do all of that for you as a hosted cloud based solution.

The full LSG solution is mapped out below. Any permutation of this can be cherry picked to provide the solution that suits you.
