For the record, I'm working on Coventry at the moment. I hope to have time over the next month to blitz it clean but I welcome any other mappers in the area to help out too. Fortunately the majority of Coventry was mapped by DamoCov (agreed) before sherbourne (undecided) made his changes. Most street names were entered by DamoCov and any that weren't are available from OS OpenData StreetView; for those few that remain I'll have to do a personal survey. I'm mainly focusing on the road network first since I feel that's something that we don't want to suddenly be broken on the 1st of April and is most easily verifiable from Bing/OS. Overall I think that Coventry will come out of this in better shape as I'm trying to take the time to clean things up wherever possible.
