Leicester

Why we chose Leicester

Leicester is our home city and we were keen to use it as a showcase for Skape.

Practically, choosing Leicester offered a number of benefits as we prepared our test site.

Our local knowledge meant that we could easily cross-reference and check all of the geo-information we gathered and were using.

And our close links with De Montfort University also helped us as we developed Skape, and the demonstration video you can see here.

The Leicester Local Plan

We're working hard to see if Skape can help out with the Leicester Local Plan.

This is just one example of our partnership approach in action. You can read more about why this way of working is so important to us here.
