We can either do this by switching on the relevant OSM layers or by downloading the data and overlaying it on a <span class="">map</span>. Note that maps are usually for a single local or fire authority.</span></li>
<li style="margin-left:15px"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Provide an interface whereby local authority officers can update existing assets and add new ones to directly to <span class="">Open</span> <span class="">Street</span> <span class="">Map</span> via a simple dialogue that we provide. We can introduce some validation on who does this. </span></li>
</ol><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">I'd like to explore the feasibility of doing 1 and 2 above and whether we are safe doing 2 without any suggestion that we might impair the quality of OSM data.</span></div>
