Re: [OSM-talk] Local councils

A hint on where you are based would help us identify which councils have already been covered ;) I'm based in Swanland, East Yorkshire, UK. If a council is contacted more than once they might be persuaded to look at OSM. :-) I'm going to spread the message to other villages in this area and I'm going to add a contact column to the list of villages in the East Yorkshire wiki page.
