Hi Jo,
That sounds like a clue though but sometimes there could be more than one
Primary/Secondary schools in same village/parish and other way - duplicates
(as in my current task with 2 nodes each with same names). Adding the
parish/village as an integral part of name could conflict with an existing
feature name.
Best,
- Enock
UMaT, Tarkwa
