Interactive maps

Screenshot of interactive map We use interactive maps to present some of our datasets geospatially. Maps can help us understand how separate issues affect the West Midlands region and local areas. We can also make comparisons between areas more easily.

Please note that this is not a full Geographical Information System (GIS) though we can develop GI mapping for specific projects. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
