The Sutton / Croydon boundary is partly complete from my recent mapping of this area.

Maybe its a good question add to a sample of the surveys? Currently the areas in most need - ones that we'll probably get around to last are Worcester Park/North Cheam and North/West Sutton. My immediate aims is the cul-de-sac maze of Roundshaw, fix the remanants of incomplete roads from the Hackbridge party to the north of Carshalton, and to complete a few bits I missed from the tagging up of east Sutton. -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
