Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Hamstead
Saw your email and went to reply only to notice that I got the same email earlier! Now just to inform some of the companies they've got the wrong address! All the Google maps addresses appear to have updated now as well. Good job team!

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Hamstead
You mentioned wishing to see a "street sign". Google street view (dated Apr 2017) has a sign attached to a lamppost on B4124 Hamstead Hill at its junction with Austin Way. It's for those going Northbound along Hamstead Hill. It's outside Circuit Coatings. There's a screenshot of this sign taken from Google street view at: http://www.northeastraces.com/temporary/hie.png On Fri, 15 Feb 2019, Thomas Szabunia wrote: (Apologies for the double email, this seemed to get lost as I was switching emails) This is the sort of stuff I enjoy, this seems like the best point to contact them from, their link to the PAF Code of Practice is broken as well (reported that as well but be darned if I can find a proper contact form for web issues).
