Nottingham is a city in Nottinghamshire at latitude 52°57′10.80″ North, longitude 1°09′00.00″ West.
Progress
Major roads in the conurbation are in place, as are most areas with aerial photography - West Bridgford and Clifton are missing most road names, and the LCN/recommended cycle routes are marked in most of the city centre, and south of the Trent.
A more detailed picture of the current status by area (cake slice) is shown below.
Active mappers
Kev - Lives in West Bridgford and mapping most of the area south of the Trent, particularly cycle routes - hoping to map these more fully when the weather gets somewhat warmer. NTU City and Clifton campuses have been mapped.
Rob - Did some of the major roads, and bits in Bramcote and Wollaton. Unfortunately not based in Nottingham, so only doing bits and pieces when visiting family.
Russ Phillips - Seems to have done other bits and pieces. Also not based in Nottingham.
Will Hebden - Working in Nottingham, so able to start filling in the city centre.
Status
Greater Nottingham area, has been split into 'cake slices' with the following outer boundaries: S.of the Trent, includes Nottingham City areas of Wilford and Clifton and the West Bridgford area of Rushcliffe district; N of the Trent, bounded to the W by the River Erewash (border of Notts and Derbys) until crossed by the M1, then by the M1 to Long Lane (Watnall), to the N by Watnall Road, A611, City Boundary (S of Bestwood Country Park) and then across country to Dorket Head, to the E from Dorket Head along Mapperley Plains, along Arnold Lane, Colwick Loop Road (A612) to the Trent at the Netherfield Railway bridge.

Meaning of colours
Cake Slice | District | Status | Remarks | Mapped / Checked by |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | City Centre 52°57′14.22″ N, 1°08′49.02″ W | Good coverage. Some minor roads, narrow pedestrian ways (known locally as twitchells) and many POI missing. | ||
2 | The Meadows 52°56′22.45″ N, 1°08′42.22″ W | Patchy coverage, which is weaker on the W side of the area, which was completely rebuilt in the 1980s. | ||
3 | Lenton Lane 52°56′25.80″ N, 1°09′48.96″ W | A mix of industrial estates, retail parks, with odd bits of greenspace. Mostly on land formerly occupied by the railways, and the long gone Clifton Colliery, Wilford Power Station, and the Royal Ordnance Factory. | ||
4 | Lenton 52°56′53.81″ N, 1°10′09.84″ W | Predominantly residential area, more-or-less complete. Some tidying up needed around Canning Circus, and along Castle Boulevard. Some small mews type roads in The Park may have been missed. Restrictions on cars (oneway street, traffic calming etc.) in the streets around Harrington Drive needs to be checked. | ||
5 | Radford 52°57′24.12″ N, 1°10′26.40″ W | Predominantly residential area, road network mainly in place (80%), but only about 50% surveyed. Many missing road names. Areas re-developed since 1970 tend to have complex networks of roads and paths. | ||
6 | The Forest 52.96209&, 1°09′43.70″ W | Mix of residential, green space, with schools and some commercial. Most roads in place, some names lacking. | ||
7 | Mapperley Park 52°58′14.52″ N, 1°08′29.76″ W | Most roads mapped from Yahoo and NPE data. Requires survey as there are many inaccuracies. | ||
8 | St. Anns 52°58′02.28″ N, 1°07′46.92″ W | Only about 50% roads present: particularly in the area N of Woodborough Road, where the Yahoo aerial photos are difficult to interpret. Intricate network of footpaths only partially mapped. | ||
9 | Sneinton 52°56′58.92″ N, 1°07′44.76″ W | Most roads present, except for industrial area E of Lady Bay Bridge. | ||
10 | West Bridgford 52°55′09.84″ N, 1°07′27.12″ W | Most roads present, but only 50% of street names. | ||
11 | Wilford, Silverdale and Compton Acres 52°55′17.40″ N, 1°08′56.40″ W | Most roads present, but very few street names. The convoluted road system of the modern estate of Compton Acres is likely to be incomplete as it was mapped from Yahoo Aerial photos. | ||
12 | Clifton 52°54′15.12″ N, 1°10′51.24″ W | Most roads present, but only major roads have names. Again the footpath network will present a challenge. | ||
13 | Dunkirk and Beeston Rylands 1°11′18.60″ S, 14°00′00.00″ E | Mixed area of Industrial/Commercial with pockets of residential areas at Dunkirk and Beeston Rylands. The large area occupied by the Boots complex may be difficult to survey. | ||
14 | Beeston 52°55′33.96″ N, 1°13′22.44″ W | Generally well covered, particularly around the town centre. Some gaps in outlying estates. | ||
15 | Nottingham University 52°56′17.77″ N, 1°11′55.54″ W | Mapped in detail some time ago. One or two known roads are missing (e.g. Wortley Close). | ||
16 | Wollaton Park Estate 52°57′00.22″ N, 1°11′26.02″ E |
SK53 has been using this area to familiarise himself with several aspects of OSM. Most streets, footpaths etc. have been walked several times to generate GPS traces, and to acquire data for adding addresses according to the Karlsruhe scheme. The main missing features are cycle paths either side of Middleton Boulevard, which may affect routing for cyclists in the the area. |
||
17 | Wollaton 52°56′49.92″ N, 1°12′39.60″ W | Most roads present and named. Network of footpaths largely complete, with some missing in Wollaton Park. Bus stops and routes about 50% complete. | ||
18 | Bilborough 52°57′47.16″ N, 1°13′03.00″ W | Most roads present, but only 50% of street names. | ||
19 | Broxtowe 52°58′41.88″ N, 1°12′41.40″ W | Many roads present, although N part is off Yahoo imagery and much less complete. Broxtowe Country Park not mapped in any detail. | ||
20 | Hyson Green 52°58′19.78″ N, 1°10′18.19″ W | Most roads and street names present. | ||
21 | Sherwood 52°58′47.28″ N, 1°09′26.28″ W | Most roads present, but very few street names. | ||
22 | Woodthorpe 52°59′14.68″ N, 1°07′44.47″ W | No Yahoo photos for much of area. | ||
23 | Gedling 52°58′56.53″ N, 1°06′26.14″ W | No Yahoo photos for much of area. | ||
24 | Carlton 52°57′53.46″ N, 1°06′19.66″ W | No Yahoo photos for much of area. | ||
25 | Colwick 52°57′02.16″ N, 1°05′42.36″ W | |||
26 | Attenborough, Chilwell and Toton 52°54′42.84″ N, 1°14′15.00″ W | Most roads present. Street names need collecting in Toton and around Inham Road. | ||
27 | Stapleford 52°55′53.04″ N, 1°16′10.92″ W | Most roads present, but very few street names. | ||
28 | Bramcote Hills and Wollaton Vale 52°56′45.96″ N, 1°14′17.52″ W | Most roads present, and a few missing street names. | ||
29 | Strelley 52°58′11.28″ N, 1°14′55.32″ W | Mainly open countryside, few roads. In a draft of a recent development plan this area was proposed for residential development. | ||
30 | North Bulwell 53°00′33.84″ N, 1°13′17.76″ W | Again a lot of countryside, but some residential and industrial areas. | ||
31 | Bulwell 52°59′56.76″ N, 1°12′12.96″ W | No Yahoo images, poor coverage. | ||
32 | Basford 52°59′11.04″ N, 1°11′12.48″ W | No Yahoo images, poor coverage. | ||
33 | Highbury 52°59′47.04″ N, 1°10′54.48″ W | No Yahoo images, poor coverage. | ||
34 | Daybrook 52°59′41.17″ N, 1°09′27.50″ W | No Yahoo images, poor coverage. | ||
35 | Bestwood Park (inc. Rise Park and Top Valley) 53°00′30.64″ N, 1°09′57.96″ W | No Yahoo images, poor coverage. | ||
36 | Arnold 53.0064&, 1°07′15.60″ W | No Yahoo images, woeful coverage. |
