The London Borough of Barnet is divided into 24 electoral Wards. The current warding arrangement came into effect on 5th May 2022. These maps have been created as general resource for the council. The information is sourced from Ordnance Survey Open Data products and may be used more widely subject to the Open Government Licence (v3). Each ward map is available in 2 different sizes, in pdf format and includes an approximate scale and information currency. Ward boundary information is from OS Boundary-Line™ (normally released in May and October) The A3 base map information is from OS OpenMap - Local (normally released in April and October) The A4 base map information is from OS VectorMap District (normally released in May and November) Only the latest version of the maps are published and older versions are not retained. Please note: these maps may not reflect the latest information published by Ordnance Survey, see document dates for date last updated.

Macros

The tool works in any version of Excel. But the user MUST ENABLE MACROS, for the features to work. There a some restrictions on functionality in the ward maps in Excel 2003 and earlier - full instructions are included in the spreadsheet.

To check whether the macros are enabled in Excel 2003 click Tools, Macro, Security and change the setting to Medium. Then you have to re-start Excel for the changes to take effect. When Excel starts up a prompt will ask if you want to enable macros - click yes.

In Excel 2007 and later, it should be set by default to the correct setting, but if it has been changed, click on the Windows Office button in the top corner, then Excel options (at the bottom), Trust Centre, Trust Centre Settings, and make sure it is set to 'Disable all macros with notification'. Then when you open the spreadsheet, a prompt labelled 'Options' will appear at the top for you to enable macros.

To create your own thematic borough maps in Excel using the ward map tool as a starting point, read these instructions. You will need to be a confident Excel user, and have access to your boundaries as a picture file from elsewhere. The mapping tools created here are all fully open access with no passwords.
