[Talk-gb-westmidlands] OSM and tunnel closures

[Andrew Mackenzie]

Yes I said I wouldn't go if the meeting on the 15th if was to discuss having an app in the future. BCC needed to commission it a few weeks ago to get something built for use while the tunnels are closed. Given the limited budget it costs more to discuss than build.

I also suggest that we add Closed 19 July- 2 Sep to the name. I can make sure I do both on both he opening and closing dates
