[Talk-GB] Road closures/changes during Covid19

[Tony OSM]

Hi

Yes a very good idea.

I'm in  North West England - the main driver in this area is Manchester. 
I have seen social media  and news outlets showing photos of Deansgate, 
Manchester with expanded pedestrian areas and expanded cycle lanes; 
motor vehicles removed - but I don't know if there are delivery 
exceptions. This has been an aspiration for several years so it may 
become permanent.

I can't travel to survey this.

I have seen no mentions of expanded bicycle /pedestrian areas in Chorley 
or Preston.

If a table in a wiki page was created iy region/alphabetic town - we 
could pool our knowledge and plan survey trips. Information saying no 
change is also helpful.

Regards

Tony
