Neighborhood Safer Places now shown in the recently released Edition 3 North West map book

Please be advised that Neighbourhood Safer Places are now shown in the recently released Edition 3 North West mapbook, and will be shown in subsequent mapbooks. While they were not included in the Central Edition 3 mapbook the decision was made to include them from the North West onwards, after some consideration. The (relative) stability of the NSP dataset in the North West and South West mapbook areas suggested that, to firefighters, the benefits of including them outweighed the issues around the dataset.

Please bear in mind that it is likely that more NSPs will be added during the two and a half year lifespan of the mapbook, and some may be decommissioned – the CFA website remains the appropriate place to view the current list of NSP locations, and words to this effect are included on the bottom of each mapbook page that has an NSP on it.

Happy to discuss, and to those who have already fielded questions on this issue, my apologies for not sending this out earlier…

Cheers,
