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

[Brian Prangle]

Hi Greg

Fantastic resource!  Thanks for your effort here. I'll start using the
toool immediately. A couple of comments:

What does the B signify after a district name
The logic in your stats table took a bit of working out - perhaps an
explanantion might be appropriate.
As I (and I guess others) work through this tool it will need a regular
update  for matches between OSM and FHRS date otherwise it will gradually
become less and less useful. Robert Whitacker updates his schools and
postbox data roughly weekly - perhaps we should aim at that. Greg - if this
is beyond your resources how do we tackle this West Mids mappers?

Regards

Brian
