Jeni, Data we are working from came from BCC. If you give the local council a ring (try their highways department) they will probably send you a list if you tell them what you are doing. BCC also has it on their website. Cheers Andy >-Original Message- >From: talk-gb-westmidlands-boun..

Where are we getting all the information from? I would like very much to do my bit (though I'd prefer to focus on the Bromsgrove area, if that data is available somewhere :), then there is scope for PR to the Bromsgrove papers too) Jeni ___ Talk-gb-w

Looks like Christoph will be doing lots of re-rendering! As a by product I've discovered that lots of the primary/trunk roads which were mapped in the early days don't have names which makes the job interesting! If we make the effort what's the betting that we just have mild weather from now on?

Agree about PR value of timely information. Thanks Christoph, Andy, Brian. Meanwhile, I'm posting the updates to Twitter. Is there a way for new and inexperienced mappers to participate in updating the map? Andrew On 14 Jan 2010, at 17:31, Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists) wrote: > That would be

That would be the plan. It's still fresh in everyone's minds right now so I suspect the newspapers would pick up on it if we got it done in the next few days and that’s a real possibility. Might be nice to do something jointly with BCC too. Cheers Andy >-Original Message- >From: talk-gb-

If we can get this to a point where it is more or less complete (for the area) before the next big freeze happens, there could be some good PR for OSM in the local area if someone were to issue a press release? Jeni Christoph Böhme wrote: > Hi all, > > I created a map overlay showing the gritti
