Hi,
Is anyone interested in creating a really detailed map of the area to be
destroyed by the Heathrow extension. The area (the villages of
Harlington Sipson and Harmondsworth:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.4807&lon=-0.4559&zoom=14&layers=0B00FTTT
)
is basically mapped, but there is quite a lot of detail missing: the
tracks through Harmondsworth Moor (the old Accomodation Lane), the
refugee detention centre, the tithe barn in Harmondsworth, the
Greenpeace owned land in Sipson, according to news reports 100 listed
buildings, various bits of industrial use, etc.
I will carry on with it but it's a longish cycle ride for me to get
there, so if there are others around interested it might get done quicker.
(please DON'T use yahoo or google maps to speed it up - the area has a
lot of gravel extraction pits which move round quite quickly - they get
refilled for farming use - and none of the aerial photos I've seen are
up to date with the current positions)
