[Talk-GB] Licences for Highways and PRoW data (Was: C roads again)

[Andy Robinson]

The NSG is a closed shop run by the OS and other stakeholders for the
management of street works. When the NSG was set up a few years ago I tried
to get access and initially during their pilot I sort of did, but this was
cut off when the system whet fully live and access limited to the LA's and
the statutory undertakers. The reason access was denied was apparently for
commercial reasons, in that the statutory undertakers did not want all and
sundry to have information on their assets.

Cheers
Andy

Hasn't that been superseded these days?

As part of the LLPG requirements (Local Land and Property Gazetteer)
councils are now required to maintain the LSG Local Street Gazetteer and
both of these then feed into the National version. The NSG is a believe part
of 'The New Roads and Street Works Act 1991'
