[Talk-GB] GB License Change Readiness

[Brian Prangle]

Hi Matt

Peter is unlikely to accept the new CTs but has not yet declined.
Blackadder has emailed him recently but not got a response. Peter was very
active and has contributions all over the West Midlands from various
mapping parties so it would be a shame to lose his contribution but I'm not
optimistic. Wherever I come across his contributions I'm just remapping them

Regards

Brian
