Council mapping team retains industry honours
Dudley Council’s mapping team has once again been recognised for the outstanding quality of their work, with another prestigious industry award.
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) team, which works closely with the Network Management team to maintain address and street data in Dudley borough, has retained its platinum status in this year’s Exemplar Awards.
The platinum honour is the top prize on offer at the Exemplar Awards and recognises the very highest level of data quality found in local government records.
This is the ninth consecutive year that the council’s mapping experts have been recognised at the Exemplar Awards for their maintenance of highly accurate land, property, street and address data.
Councillor Ed Lawrence, cabinet member for transformation, said:
“Our mapping team continues to work exceptionally hard to provide the entire council with information that is crucial to the delivery of many council services.
“The officers have consistently worked to improve the quality of our address and street data, providing residents and businesses with reliable, accurate information.
“I would like to praise the team for driving up standards year after year, and I am delighted that they have, once again, been recognised with this high-level award.”
