Well done Jonathan! You've motivated me to go out and survey the remaining 4 roads in Dudley so we can have 100% coverge of the West Midlands. Does anyone else have any tales of what the Quarterly Poroject motivated them to do?
Next Q's project will be all things Delivery or Logistics. This arose from a dicussion at our last pub meeting where we first thought of adding the new online shopping collection points that are springing up in filling stations and shopping malls. This quickly spread to fill-out of missing Royal Mail postboxes; delivery entrance numbers to shopping centres, shopping malls, factories; courier depots; distribution warehouses; HGV restrictions. Anything else you can think of. Addresses and postcodes probably deserve a Q project in their own right We also thought that having the next few Qs projects would be helpful so we can plan ahead with organisational contacts which always take time So after Delivery we will have Tourist Attractions then Nature Reserves. The definitions are broad and wil include anything you can think of related to these themes Regards Brian On 17 March 2015 at 15:41, Jonathan Harley <[email protected]> wrote: > On 14/01/15 11:09, Derick Rethans wrote: > >> On Tue, 13 Jan 2015, Andy Mabbett wrote: >> >> On 13 January 2015 at 15:26, Brian Prangle <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Coventry still has 38 names to go and has proved a perennial >>>> challenge to us - none of the regulars at our mappa mercia meeting >>>> lives or works there and it's proven difficult to enthuse mappers on >>>> the ground in the past but we shall try again - 38 names is not a >>>> lot after all! >>>> >>> Is there a URL where these roads are listed or mapped, that is >>> understandable to a lay person?
