Why do you need a map?
“A lot of the decisions made about local areas in the UK are based on “evidence” collected or supplied by the government. While this seems reasonable, often this “official “information doesn’t tell the whole story or evidence is missing altogether. Bringing information based on local knowledge to a situation can help challenge official views and help create positive transformations in your community.
Another valuable reason for having a community map is simply to find out what is going on in where you live. Local projects, events and facilities are often available on your doorstop without you knowing. A community map provides a way to capture all of this information in one place. So whether you’re interested in food growing projects or attending your local safer neigbourhoods meeting it can be useful to you”.
