Case Study: West Bletchley Council achieves faster, safer carnival planning with Ordnance Survey digital mapping

West Bletchley Council - Customer Case Study

West Bletchley Council needed a faster, more accurate way to plan its growing annual Bletchley Carnival, especially after moving to a new site at Rickley Park. The council used Ordnance Survey digital mapping with Pear Technology GIS software and OS MasterMap Topography Layer to check site size, plan stall layouts, and map the parade route safely.

Ordnance Survey’s mapping data and GIS enabled West Bletchley Council to make precise, last-minute changes, share detailed plans with contractors, police, and safety teams, and avoid costly paper-based redraws. The result was a safer, better-designed event, with measurable efficiency gains and the discovery that Rickley Park was larger than first thought, helping the council fit dozens of stalls and event areas more effectively.
