Hi Matt Peter is unlikely to accept the new CTs but has not yet declined. Blackadder has emailed him recently but not got a response. Peter was very active and has contributions all over the West Midlands from various mapping parties so it would be a shame to lose his contribution but I'm not optimistic. Wherever I come across his contributions I'm just remapping them
