Hi everyone I've had an approach from a guy called Mike Sanderson who wants to collaborate with us as the local folk have to produce a Parish Neighbourhood Plan and want some basic training and a mapping party. Let me know if you want to help. I'm trying to arrange a preliminary meeting to scope

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Street tagging Problem

Hi everyone How would you tag a street that is one way for all traffic in one direction with a contraflow bus lane going in the other direction? The street is a normal two lane single carriageway. Came across this in Walsall - Caldmore Lane as it leads off from Bradford Street Regards Brian

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Bus stops: proposal

Hi Matthijs I can't see the point of putting Naptan:Street into the name - it will just repeat information that's already there in the street itself. Common name only is what is used I believe in the rest of the UK. I haven't asked the obvious question which is why do this at all? I'm a bit

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] January Meeting Saturday January 11th

Hi everyone Happy New Year! From the feedback so far I suggest we meet in the Thomas Lloyd in the Square - it's a Wetherspoons so we're assured of cheap beer and reasonable pub grub. To accommodate Andy we need to meet by 430pm at the latest which allows afternoon or all-day ;-) mapping. If it's

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] New Mappa Mercia website

Hi Rob Well done on progressing the website. I'm not there this month so here's my input: I think your idea of not having a map on the home page is a good one and I like the idea of some photos of personalities too! I'm happy to go along with any design for the pages and site you collectively
