LocalView lets you:
Address Search
This facility allows users to search for an address or postcode, using the Council’s Corporate Address Gazetteer, and display the property’s location on a map. See below for address search tips.
On The Map
The user can point and click on a map to indicate the location in which they are interested.
Having selected a location LocalView can then be used to extract information in two ways:
Find The Nearest
LocalView lists by distance all the nearest facilities (for example, council offices, schools, GP surgeries) to the location. Only one facility of each type (the nearest ‘as the crow flies’) is listed.
In the Area
LocalView lists all the facilities on one type that fall within a specified distance of the location (‘as the crow flies’), for example, show all the Primary Schools within 5 miles.
WARNING: as the distances are ‘as the crow flies’ the nearest service may be across a sea loch or on an island. If you are not familiar with the geography of Argyll and Bute please view the location of the service on the map.

Address Search Tips
Completion of all address fields may reduce your chances of finding the property you require at the first attempt. It is recommended that no more than two fields are completed - e.g. house number and street, house number and postcode, house name and postcode or house name and town. As the Corporate Address Gazetteer was compiled from several sources there may be spelling, punctuation or spacing errors in house names so please also try using the first few letters of the name and a wildcard (*). For example, Tigh* will find Tigh Na Mara, Tighnamara and Tigh-na-Mara. If you have any problems locating an address or you consider there is an error in your address please inform cag@argyll-bute.gov.uk with details of the problem.
