The UK Quarterly Project this quarter is to increase the quality and quantity of address and postcode data on OSM objects in the UK.

Suggested Mapping Tasks
- Use aerial imagery to map buildings, which can then have addresses added to them.
- Use on-the-ground surveys to collect missing addresses, particularly in residential areas.
- Use various tools (see below) to identify postcode and address errors, and then try to fix these using Open Data sources or ground surveys.
