Have remapped some sections of the A41, A53 and A442 as well as a few minor fixes along the A5. It would have been embarrassing for the OSM community if these types of roads disappear on April 1st. Its not in too bad a state, I have traces for some that now show up on Badmap and just need to do some editing. The most that will be lost is some housing estates in Telford, which can be put back in a few lunchtimes of surveying.
Have also been looking at my old area, Leicester, there are a few main roads that I can fix with GPS traces as we visit relatives and some others can be fixed with some local knowledge and bing. There are some big housing estates in Leicester, that will vanish. Have emailed Sherbourne and millimole2001 as they contributed a lot of these areas, but have received no response. Is there anyway of knowing if the email bounced? I am GPS logging most of my journeys now, so I may have some traces to fix thing that break.
