Changes to APGB agreement
In the next few weeks you will be required to re-sign the APGB member licence that gives you access to high resolution aerial photography. You'll receive a pop-up when you log into your Parish Online account.
The reason for having to re-sign is that the provider of the streaming service that Parish Online uses to receive the data is changing. It's a bit of a pain, but something we've got to do.
If you receive any emails from APGB or the Geospatial Commission asking you to download WMS feeds, don't worry about that, we're taking care of it to save you the extra admin!
Reopening Playgrounds and Outdoor Gyms
As of the 4th July playgrounds and outdoor gyms were able to reopen but precautions and guidelines should be adhered to to minimise the risk of transmitting COVID-19.
Parish Online can help your local council plan the reopening of your play area and outdoor gym by allowing you to:
- Print maps or share Parish Online with your colleagues
- Add your playground sites to your digital asset register
- Log maintenance and inspection information to your assets
For helpful and practical advice on how to safely reopen, BHIB Councils Insurance have put together a guide for local councils.
