I was just about to suggest this. The legal status should be tagged separately from the landuse. We created designation=common for common land. However it looks like town greens and village greens are legally identical under the Commons Act. Maybe designation=green might be best, although it looks a little weird. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:designation=common -- Russ Garrett r...@garrett.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
