The recent outbreak of covid-19 in Herefordshire prompts me to wonder how we map the groups of (usually) caravans provided on farm sites to accommodate seasonal workers. I remember we (Andy, Tom & I) passed one east of Gringley-on-the-Hill 5 years ago which Andy (SomeoneElse) mapped <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/326799686> as landuse=residential. (It looks to have increased in size since then)
I've added <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/825437797> the area which I presume is the similarly dedicated area on Rook Row Farm, Mathon: the covid outbreak site. This one is more readily confusable with a touring caravan site, at least on Bing imagery, than the one at Gringley. I've also added a residential=seasonal_farm_workers as a subtag for now. Does anyone have any other suggestions for how to tag these? it was the first thing I that came to mind. We may wish to map these more explicitly as this outbreak may not be the last in this type of setting. (I've also done a few of the meat packing factories, but not sure I've fully tagged them. They are often both abattoirs and a production facility)
