Re: [Talk-GB] Future quarterly project idea

Over the last couple of years I have been slowly but surely working my
way up the country with the civil parishes. I have South East England,
South West England London, and East of England are just about complete.
I am now working on East Midlands. 

North East England, North West England, Yorkshire and the Humber, West
Midlands and Wales could do with some love however, and Northern Ireland
is a special case as the OSNI haven't released the boundary data AFAIK.

[Talk-GB] Future quarterly project idea

2016-09-24 Thread Philip Barnes
I have just been listening to Rory McCann talking about mapping Irish
Townlands and the challenges they faced obtaining the data and tracing
it from historic OS maps. The townlands are admin_level=10 relations,
the same level as our civil parishes.

Its a lot easier in the UK, we have a source of open data in OS
Opendata Boundary Lines so I feel that this would be a relatively
simple armchair, or at least swivel chair, project for those dark
winter nights.

They are an important level, our lowest level of Parish/Town councils
use these boundaries, they are used in planning and are uselful when
reporting issues with rights of way, in many counties path numbers
change at the boundary.
