[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Tools for Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) data

[Greg Swinford]

Hi all,

I've developed some tools for visualising Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) and OSM data, finding possible matches between it and importing useful tags into JOSM.

I think the FHRS data is a useful source of postcodes and addresses, and it can also be a helpful reminder of local establishments to add to the map. It is my hope that the tools I’ve developed could help us to efficiently add and verify data in our local areas (rather than importing large amounts of data automatically).

I have created a set of maps (one per OS Boundary Line district) for the West Midlands and uploaded them here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42978572/FHRS%20West%20Midlands/index.html <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42978572/FHRS%20West%20Midlands/index.html>. Please do have a look and I hope you find them useful.

I don’t have the time or computing resources to update the data very regularly or to widen the geographical area beyond the West Midlands, but the code is freely available at http://github.com/gregrs-uk/python-fhrs-osm <http://github.com/gregrs-uk/python-fhrs-osm> if anyone would like to use it.

I can post this on the wider talk-GB list if this would be helpful…

Thanks,
Greg.
