Hi everyone I've just added a relation for the boundary of the new West Midlands Cominbined Authority <https://westmidlandscombinedauthority.org.uk/> (which is the same as the old ceremonial West Midlands County, which I've left intact as it's still used I believe where postal addresses still insist on a county and I can't think that the postal address for one minute is going to change to West Midlands Combined Authority). My question is how do I cope with non-constituent authorties?
Non-constituent members can sign up to more than one combined authority and have less voting rights than constituent members. The non-constituent authorities for the West Midlands Combined Authority are: - Cannock Chase District Council <https://www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk/> - Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council <https://www.nuneatonandbedworth.gov.uk/> - Redditch Borough Council <http://www.redditchbc.gov.uk/> - Tamworth Borough Council <http://www.tamworth.gov.uk/tamworth-join-planned-west-midlands-combined-authority> - Telford and Wrekin Council <http://www.telford.gov.uk/news/article/3085/councils_decision_on_west_midlands_combined_authority> Regards Brian On 10 February 2017 at 08:33, Colin Smale <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Adam, > > The trouble with the UK is that places don't have clear boundaries... > > 1) on the administrative side there are Civil Parishes, but large parts of > the country are "unparished" and some parishes contain multiple > "settlements" > > 2) Royal Mail have completely different ideas, which are for their own > convenience and frequently conflict with the admin boundaries > > 3) (my suspicion) people identify with their location using other criteria > - spontaneous answers to "what place do you live in" will show a great > variation "around the edges" of a place > > Not sure if the National Gazetteer (which focuses on addresses) tries to > define boundaries to named places... > > > All in all, if we have boundaries for places, they are going to have to > allow for fuzzy edges and overlaps. > > I suppose it all starts with "what do you mean by place"? > > //colin > > On 2017-02-10 00:48, Adam Snape wrote: > > Thanks Phil, > > Our local place mapping must be quite primitive, because few place > boundaries are mapped.
