Public information and open data

Public information

Your own roadworks site, with no sign-in, shows the same works and closures your officers see, in plain language.

• A public map of roadworks, closures and events, and a page for each one with its dates and diversion.
• Orders in force, and consultations where residents can comment online.
• Email alerts for a street or area, confirmed by the resident and cancelled with one link.
• Online applications with a tracking page the applicant can return to.
• A map other websites can embed, and a display screen for a control room wall.
• Visit counts kept without cookies.

• Waze CIFS for sat-nav services and UTMC situations for journey planners.

• Key routes and bus routes, imported from the Bus Open Data Service, with journey times.
• Environment Agency flood warnings and river levels, with an incident raised from a warning in one step.
• Skips, scaffolds and section 50 licences on the same map as the works.
• Sketches and traffic management plans drawn on the map with Chapter 8 symbols.
• Your own layers added from WMS, WFS, GeoJSON, ArcGIS REST or XYZ tile services.
