The NSG is a closed shop run by the OS and other stakeholders for the management of street works. When the NSG was set up a few years ago I tried to get access and initially during their pilot I sort of did, but this was cut off when the system whet fully live and access limited to the LA's and the statutory undertakers. The reason access was denied was apparently for commercial reasons, in that the statutory undertakers did not want all and sundry to have information on their assets.

As part of the LLPG requirements (Local Land and Property Gazetteer) councils are now required to maintain the LSG Local Street Gazetteer and both of these then feed into the National version. The NSG is a believe part of 'The New Roads and Street Works Act 1991' https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/street-works-co-ordination for some light reading ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
