Yes, But a Town Hall tends to say its the Council Offices, Headquarters of Local Govenment... Which its not. A Town Hall and a Community Centre are two completly different things. Except of course when it comes to the OSM idea of a town hall, Which is likely to cause confusion. I've got nothing against this use of Town Hall I just feel it may cause some confusion, and may mean the tags difficult to find and then does not get used. It might be a good idea if we had a tag to tag any premises that is available for multiple purposes and can be rented, ie Scout Huts, Community Centres, Church Halls, Sports Club Halls, etc etc..... maybe rentable=yes and maybe even club=scouts;church;toddlers;etc. to list the multiple uses of the premisies at different times. Just an idea. Peter. Peter _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
