[–] rwmj 16y ago ↗ "Consulting" on it, but still better than nothing. [–] russss 16y ago ↗ In a speech today, Gordon Brown had the following to say:"And from April next year ordnance survey will open up information about administrative boundaries, postcode areas and mid-scale mapping."So that seems a bit less tentative to me. We shall see. [–] al_james 16y ago ↗ Yes... I would like to think that no politician would dare back track after a strong statement like that, but you never know!
