[Talk-scotland] Users adding notes about path issues around Edinburgh

[Donald Noble]

One or more anonymous users is adding notes to paths in Edinburgh
complaining about the quality of the path surface, or localised flooding,
e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/761917

I contacted the twitter user in the above one from the @OSMScotland
account, and he advised that there is a consultation being run in Edinburgh
to flag up issues with paths, and it is asking people to add notes to OSM!

Link to consultation:
https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/design-cycle-walk-nepn/

Part way through the survey the following image is included,
https://www.snapsurveys.com/wh/k/147645046739/picture2.jpg

Which is directing people to add notes to the map then send screenshots to
EdinburghCycling.uki at aecom.com.

So from this I suspect the council have commissioned AECOM to carry out the
survey, and they have no understanding of how the notes system in OSM works.

I have not contacted either the council or AECOM yet, thought I would see
what other people's thoughts were.

Cheers, Donald
