Subject: Are there any current digitisation requirements in the contaminated land arena?

Dear Micky,

I am a colleage of Colin Matheson at IMASS. The data services we provide are digitising, scanning and address database cleansing. Do you know of any current activities in the contaminated land arena that may have need of these types of services?

I read with interest that your company has carried out digitising using Hungarian sub-contractors.

Kind Regards,

Dave Arnott

Dear Dave

In the latest issue of Mapping Awareness (March 1999, vol 13 no 3) there was an insert for Newark and Sherwood District Council, where they state that they are seeking expressions of interest in the provision of a GIS.

It will utilise data from the Ordinance Survey for background mapping and will provide a dynamic link to databases used within the Authority, which will initially include the following:

• Environmental Protection - review of air quality and identifying potentially contamninated land within the district
• A fully integrated land use planning system
• Monitoring of the ongoing operation and control of the grounds maintenance service
• The Authority's Land and Property Records
• Local Land Charges

Expressions of interest should be returned by 26th March 1999 to :-

Director of Development + Planning
Newark + Sherwood District Council
Kelham Hall, Newark,
Nottinghamshire NG23 5QX
