[Talk-GB] Reference numbers for UK admin areas?

[Edward Bainton]

This is Sutton the parish within the City of Peterborough unitary authority
(there is another in Beds and another in Norfolk).

OP here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=67698

The challenge was to get Overpass to return grit bins in *this *Sutton, and
not in all places called Sutton.

The context (not in OP) was a query from someone who works with parish
councils asking whether OSM is a feasible GIS for their asset management -
because (1) parish councils are third parties to the Public Sector Mapping
Agreement and (2) they have just had a lot of  assets (or should that be
liabilities?) devolved to them from higher tiers of government.
