Main aims and objectives
- To investigate and, where practicable, resolve discrepancies with registered cadastral units and indexes arising from updates received as a result of receiving new data from the OS.
- To, where possible, improve turnaround times for the various casework types being processed, including monitoring OS’s response to survey requisitions, street survey checks and requests for topographic information.
- To monitor the incidence of survey requisition in particular areas and regulate the quality of resultant OS data to ensure a high level of service is maintained.
- To work in partnership with internal customers to help improve services and the quality of products supplied to external customers.

The National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh holds copies of all the available editions of published National Grid OS maps for Scotland. If a caseworker needs an edition to help resolve an extent discrepancy, they should forward their request to the MBM manager. MBM will attempt to batch any requests, unless urgent, in order to save on postage and packaging. The caseworker will be kept informed of progress. |
