London Borough chooses Opus3 for LDF

London Borough chooses Opus3 for LDF

The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham has gone live with its LDF website, built using the Opus3 web publishing system for interactive maps and documents. To save money the Council opted to publish only the policy sections of its 5 LDF documents: Core Strategy, Joint Waste DPD, Borough wide DPP, Barking TC AAP and the Site Specific Allocations DPD. This concise publishing option for their documents hasn’t reduced the interactivity of the website with users able to link from the map to policies and vice-versa as well as link through to the complete documents in PDF format. The interactive proposals map includes address searching and both the Borough-wide Proposals Map and the Town Centre Area Action Plan are accessed within the same map interface so users can easily identify what policies are covered by what LDF Policy document. As part of the service package we’ll be providing updates to the map data from the Council’s GIS – via the Opus3 integrated CMS – as and when required over the next 3 years.

We’ve recently been awarded a contract by an English Local Authority to deliver their new corporate website and internal intranet using the Drupal development platform. The project will start in June 2012.

The project will be the first delivered from the Anywhere Council template.

More soon as soon we’re allowed to say more about it!
