1 February 2007: Cambridge – The GeoInformation® Group, publishers of Cities Revealed aerial photography (www.citiesrevealed.com), announce today that it has captured aerial imagery of Liverpool and the Merseyside area at 12.5 cm resolution. This high-resolution aerial imagery dataset was captured in May 2006 and is the most current aerial imagery available of the area at this resolution.
A consortium of nine public sector organisations has purchased the imagery via the management consultancy Mott MacDonald. This is the third Cities Revealed Merseyside survey commissioned by the company for the consortium since 1997.
The consortium includes Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council, Liverpool City Council, Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, St Helen’s Metropolitan District Council and Halton Borough Council, Merseyside Police, Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service and Merseytravel. The high-resolution aerial imagery is already providing an invaluable resource throughout the public sector organisations of Merseyside.
As European City of Culture 2008 Liverpool and the surrounding area is enjoying an extensive programme of regeneration and development. High-resolution aerial imagery enhances and contributes to decision-making processes regarding land development and will assist the emergency services in managing resources as the city changes and develops.

The relationship between The GeoInformation Group, Mott-MacDonald, the local government and emergency services within the area is a strong one and we are pleased to include them amongst our clients."
