The list of boundaries
Gregory,
I will give you a hand one weekend sometime if you want to have a go at
Darlington. There is another prilific mapper working on Teesside at the
moment (JoeE I think), who may be willing to help if we contact him.

The list of boundaries is all of the ones that I could find in the OSM

As the weather improves we are all going to be out and about tracing roads
for OSM. So there are various discussions, and work under way to help find,
prioritise and then fill the most important gaps in the map. Larger towns
and bigger areas that need attention are fairly well known, but

Thanks for the interest.
I haven't tried to collect parish boundaries yet, but it's an obvious step
forward.
The first thing is to say that I wouldn't want a load of effort going into
supporting measuring stuff that is better spent mapping real stuff. So I
wouldn't want to encourage

I'm not sure I'm necessarily thinking rigidly in terms of parishes. What
