Boundary maps

The following link is really useful. Not only free access to OS maps, but also
tick the right box and have outlined Parish, Wards, Election boundaries etc.

That looks really interesting but don't think it will show the Old Parish Boundaries will it?

I know we're losing 2 constituencies in Birmingham at the next election and we're being moved to a different one.

It's up to the minute with the new Bedfordshire unitary authorities. If you select County boundary nothing happens!

Hi Jbee, you have to start somewhere, the parish boundary and wards don't change 'a lot' (we have just had a new 'parish' created after 100 years but it's just a re-arrangement inside the old ones), the political areas and postal areas change, eg 'Rutland' but the place is still there.
"Why this is interesting" is you can switch on and off the highlights, the maps are OS and can be compared to OS (Old-maps) and it's even informative as many people read about their political areas and don't know what those areas are. and it's free.

It's great that you can select the types of boundary you want to display, and you can also "dim" the map to accentuate the boundary line.
