Although I rarely contribute to OSM, I lurk on this list.  It is my 
understanding from being on this list is that it is not as easy as bulk 
adding the information to OSM as the data provided by a council can be 
out-of-date and it is necessary to check whether the data agrees with 
what's on the ground.  There are also licensing issues.

My aim was to draw people's attention to a source that might make it 
easier for people to find out what is missing from OSM.
