[Talk-GB] A431 toll road

[Andy Robinson]

Well, if a new track appeared in the landscape I'd still map it. Whether its
legal is not our concern surely. But I agree, it should only be mapped from
a visit, not from the armchair.

Cheers
Andy

I appear to be the main editor in & around Bath.

One reason I haven't added it is because it's illegal (AFAIK. The owners of
the land & local councillor failed to reply to my tweets) & definitely has
no planning permission. They have produced no proof it's been constructed to
DfT/HA standards. Insurance (all parties) is unclear & possibly suspect.
Another reason is I don't map everybody's private drive way.

Also, noting the current edits, it reinforces by belief that OSM editors
should only edit areas they know or at least have visited. Retrieving
information from the Daily Mail website doesn't really work.
