[Talk-GB] Newark on Trent mappers

maybe the edubase data could help with this
http://www.education.gov.uk/edubase/about.xhtml states: The Crown

Departmental logos) may be reproduced free of charge in any format or

also it could be used to enrich the OS Data with address, telefon number etc.

for a quick look at the data edubase provides:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/schools-in-england

As every school in edubase comes with a postcode it should be
reasonably easy to correlate the OS and EduBase data, and then weed
out closed schools

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.

1) Don’t drive species to extinction

2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on.

3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above.
