Their presence is easily explained: they're official, about as official as you can get. Sources? NPE, road signs, and the boundaries tend to follow physical features, which we can map independently. This is the one category of data that Ordnance Survey really should be forced to give away for free and without restriction. The only reason the boundaries are plotted on OS maps in the first place is because councils have to. -- Jonathan (Jonobennett) _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
