[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Gritting routes

[Peter Page]

Andy,

Coventry “On-line—Gritting-Map” is now the PDF file at Priority gritting network (PDF) link on the page you have referenced.

Probably just as good (and maybe better for some? ) as the 2013 map for giving Gritting information, but not giving a free zoom-able view of the local OS Master Map derived raster views as the background!

As a follow up I thought I would see how each LA is currently presenting (in map & data terms) its winter maintenance data:

 

http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/grittingroutes (links to us for their map – available data is for 2013-14)

 

http://www.coventry.gov.uk/downloads/download/493/gritting They do not appear to have an online map.

 

http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/transport/staffshighways/winterdriving/salting/Saltingroutes.aspx

 

http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/gritting

 

http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/cms/gritting/gritting-map.aspx 

 

http://www.sandwell.gov.uk/info/200284/roads_travel_and_parking/2139/gritting They do not appear to have their own online map. The link to the spreadsheet data on our wiki are to a gdoc which when I access says will be unavailable soon. Data needs to be copied elsewhere? The link to the descriptive routes is fine.

 

http://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/gritting. Link to data from our wiki gives a 404.

 

http://cms.walsall.gov.uk/winter_service.htm No online map but route data and maps contained in their Operation Plan available for download (Oct 2013 draft version). Locations of grit bins are on a printed map and as a location list (2011).

 

Dudley have a static map facility for a given location available via http://www.dudley.gov.uk/resident/parking-roads/street-care-and-maintenance/gritting-and-snow-clearance/  The wiki link to their full data that they previously provided is showing the same “deleted soon” gdoc message as the Sandwell data.

 

Other than where noted above I don’t see any links to data from the official pages.

 

Cheers

Andy

It won’t be long before the gritters head out onto the regions roads. Can we collate what information we have for each county regarding availability/accessibility of data and updates? We also ought to think about whether a re-ender update is needed (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mappa_Mercia/gritting  suggests it hasn’t been updated for ages?). Also the map currently doesn’t show grit bin locations.

Thus far our focus has been on the west mids but our map would be a whole lot more useful if we could also be slowly working on getting data for Warks, Worcs and Staffs as these counties  certainly fall under our wider mercia interest. Also on a personal level the gritting of rural routes is especially of interest when planning winter cycling routes.

 

Cheers

Andy
