How to get to web mapping

Are you new to Daventry District or just keen to find out more about the area and services where you live?

Our web map will help you quickly locate a range of local amenities, from local schools to libraries, as well as allowing you to report a variety of issues to DDC online, whether it's a missed bin or a noise complaint.

Click on the link below and follow some simple steps:

https://mapping.daventrydc.gov.uk/

It may take a moment to load and you'll be asked to agree to some terms and conditions by ticking a box.

Next, enter your postcode in the search box provided, press enter and click on your chosen address. (see fig 1.)

Finding an address

By searching for an address you'll be presented with a map and an icon representing the address you've searched for on it.

Address details are then shown in the pop-up window, such as property type, ward, parish and polling district. If the property is a residential one you'll see the following options that link in directly with our self service (see fig 2.):

Request replacement bins.
Report missed bins.
Council tax banding.

Clicking on either of the first two options will take you to a mobile friendly form which will pre-populate with your address details. You can then fill in the rest of the form and submit the request directly to us on-line.
