Brian,

You can lobby Mapbox as an individual already:
https://www.mapbox.com/bites/00240/#3/0.00/0.00

I understand they use the data collected from that in addition to data
collected automatically from their customers to prioritise their new
imagery. It looks like we lost out this time but may be next time...

Imagery around Shropshire is certainly less than a year old, so a
definite improvement over the much older bing imagery.
For example the new Preston/Emstry Island layouts on the Shrewsbury
bypass are there, plus housing developments around Telford.

Yep - echo the big disappointment with MapBox imagery. Perhaps when we have
OSMUK up and running we can lobby MapBox for some better and newer imagery?

Re: [Talk-GB] Mapbox imagery update

Nottingham area seems to be updated to Summer 2015. I have been able to add
the extension  to the
science library in the university.

There are clouds on the images and clarity is not great, but they are very
useful for adding new buildings: and extremely useful for the area

we visited before the pub last week. On the whole the imagery needs to used
in conjunction with a ground survey as it is often dark and prone to
mis-interpretation.
