1. The provision of the building blocks allowing for the creation of a country's profile from the top-level national adminstrative areas down to the civil parish, and from the Local Highway Authority [LHA] down to the local parish/community council. It outlines the inter-dependency between these building blocks e.g a parish council cannot be formed without having access to LHA data and a LHA must be associated with an administrative area.
2. The creation of national datasets to a defined government standard or local datasets specific to the nuances of an individual LHA. Local datasets could range from a listing of derelict buildings, to the age profile of public lights, to the listing of estates not yet taken in charge etc. National datasets are typically fewer in number and better known e.g. Grade II buildings, Battefields of national importance, or Local Street Gazetteers.
3. The creation of a National Street Gazetteer for England & Wales
4. The provision of the kernel of the LaRoadmap application, without which, all other modules e.g. the road licensing module, the local parish/settlment modules, the GIS module etc. could not function.
5. The creation of a user-friendly, evolving, innovative, easy to use, product that thinks "outside the box". For example, the product includes de-facto similar standardised detail and listing pages application-wide and a common toolbar, it provides the anonymous user with a tooltip facility to further interrogate the meaning of any non-intuitive text fields on all webpages, it includes a simple-to-use GIS facility, and gives access to dataset tree diagrams etc. as a matter of course.

The anonymous user is presented with a drill-down listing of all national administrative areas, all national settlement data e.g. metropolitan counties, unitary authority areas etc., all local settlement data e.g. villages, civil parishes etc. for England and Wales which can be individually examined in detail.

The anonymous user can further examine portfolio datasets defined at government or LHA levels, examine LHA council notification alerts, or get involved in 1-2-1 engagements with their local council.

The anonymous user is typically more interested in their own village and parish council, and to a lesser extent in their LHA. A local council can be selected from a countrywide listing for a more detailed examination. Local council details include the local council office address or main meeting venue point for local parish meetings, the parish boundary hectare size, council type e.g community/meeting, main council political appointee details, parish clerk details etc.

Selection of an action box button for a local council gives access to the local council member details, supplementary contacts, the council document repository, the local council book, important alert notifications, the parish noticeboard, the 1-2-1 public engagement module etc. In tandem, the standard toolbar icons gives instant access to the GIS platform and local council attachments etc.

Product development has aspired to the creation of an environment where local council members are more facilitated, and parishioners become more involved.
