<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve now updated the coverage spreadsheet and map for
Scotland, the rest of Wales and Northern Ireland. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>It’s the first time I’ve tried to add N. Ireland.
I can’t find local authority boundaries for N. Ireland, and I believe they
are changing soon anyway, so as in Scotland and parts of Wales the calculations
are done at the regional level using NUTS3 boundaries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It shows that coverage is concentrated around Belfast, which
is not a big surprise.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The spreadsheet holds some data for the Republic of Ireland
as well. I’ve measured the lengths of roads in OSM, but I can only find comparable
government statistics on the national road network in Ireland. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If anyone is interested, and knows where there are
statistics on the local road network in Ireland then I’ll be happy to add
them in.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m not planning to do any more fiddling with the
boundaries in England until we see what comes out of ONS, but the Isle of Man
is on the “To do” list.<o:p></o:p></p>
