Perhaps, more in hope than expectation, it could be tagged 'under
construction'

Some councils insist that problem reports only come through their own 
web sites, or reluctantly, by phone, and will ignore emails (which is 
the default presentation for FixMyStreet).


The web sites generally provide structured input, whereas FixMyStreet is 
generally free text, and also, the web site sometimes bypasses the 
council contact centre, and goes direct to the out sourced contractor.

[Talk-GB] River Lugg

[Andy Mabbett]

Terrible news from Herefordshire:

https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/news/horror-destruction-nationally-important-uk-river

about illegal reprofiling of a mile-long stretch of the Lugg. But we
probably still need to map the changes.

Do we have anyone local?

Re: [Talk-GB] Idea - OSMUK walkers' map application

[Nick Whitelegg via Talk-GB]

I was just thinking it might be a nice idea to have a completely open path 
problems API that could be used not only for councils but also third party 
applications.

However as you say council take up could be problematic. Maybe we could provide 
a link to FixMyStreet?

For reporting problems, maybe FixMyStreet might be interested - see 
https://osm.fixmystreet.com/
They have sold a product to some councils to allow integration between the 
website and the council's (and their contractor's) back end systems.

I think that trying to encourage councils to use another API might be a 
challenge unless you offer them money.

Hi,

Just floating an idea for a possible OSMUK site, namely an OSMUK 
'semi-official'  web application for walkers and hikers.

This could provide similar functionality to sites such as the Ramblers' 
Pathwatch 
(https://www.ramblers.org.uk/advice/pathwatch-report-path-features-and-problems.aspx)
 allowing users to report path problems as well as nice views, historical sites 
and so on. It could also provide info such as train or bus times (by clicking 
on a rail station), beers served (for a pub), routing via public transport to a 
given countryside location, and so on.

Reported path problems could be then made available via an API, which could be 
used by councils - and, given we have the council ROW data available to us via 
rowmaps.com  - the right of way reference could be sourced 
from this if it's not in OSM already.

For rendering, we could perhaps use Andy Townsend's SomeoneElse-style, maybe 
tweaked a little, as it appears to be the most actively maintained of all the 
England and Wales renderings. This could be setup on our own server, I seem to 
remember experimenting with this a couple of years ago when the OSMUK idea was 
first floated, on a server which had been loaned to the community (I need to 
re-check my emails, and indeed check if this server is still open for us to 
use!)

I've done similar things to this in the past on a small scale, e.g. Freemap 
(free-map.org.uk) once had the facility to add path 
problems, but now we have the OSMUK organisation in existence, maybe a 
semi-official OSMUK walkers' map with added functionality would have greater 
traction and it's something that could be launched as a project on GitHub?

Thanks,
Nick

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Bourn Brook/ River Tame near Woodgate Country Park

[Andy Mabbett]

I've been doing some more cleaning up of our data on local waterways.

This node:

   https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/304057596

purports to be the source of both an underground River Tame and the
Bourn Brook; that seems implausible.

I see that the stretch of the Tame from there already has a *nine year
old* note:

   https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/116401839#map=18/52.45030/-2.00592

   Tom -what's the evidence for this - not here in OS StreetView and
seems to be a duplicate


This stream:

   https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/676764236#map=19/52.44945/-2.00666

is unnamed in OSM, but joins what purports to be the Bourn Brook - is
it in fact the Bourn itself? Does it have some other name?

This length of the Bourn:

   https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27686364#map=15/52.4470/-1.9849

is shown as layer=-1, but not as being culverted or in a tunnel.

Can anyone advise?

[Talk-GB] High quality NLS imagery of buildings and HOUSENUMBERS

[Ken Kilfedder]

Just a quick update-

I've experimented along the lines suggested below - having obtained the list of 
relevant changesets - quite a long list - via OSMcha's changeset filters.   It 
looks like it will all work as expected, so I'll try at the weekend.

If anyone who has been using this imagery would benefit from a step-by-step 
guide, let me know.
