I'm not convinced by this as rural areas have sparse coverage,  and urban areas have complete coverage. Telford,  semi rural has the same number of squares as Shropshire and Leicestershire, and the lax planning rules caused by the new towns act will, I am sure, bring up some interesting results.

The app doesn't work on my 'phone, Samsung Galaxy Ace, too old, like me.  I wanted to report presence of hogweed on the web reporting pages, seems to be no (obvious) means to do so.  Does that come under Intimidating-Other or Obtructions-Other?

Not really looking for answers here, just saying.
