More Cheshire towns complete - Congleton and Knutsford
Posted by RichardB on 22 November 2008 in English.Finally finished Knutsford today, a town of ~20,000 people - and Congleton last week, a town of ~23,000 people - both to public road level. It has taken a while to get both done, although I've been interrupted by mapping parties elsewhere, and holidays / other events.
I've not quite finished editing my last couple of visits yet, but within the next week or so, I should hopefully get this all done.
The map link provided is for Congleton. The map link for Knutsford is here;
osm.org/?lat=53.3025&lon=-2.3664&zoom=14&layers=0B00FTF
Of course both locations have plenty of footpaths and other public rights of way to map - and I'm sure there are plenty of POIs which I've missed.
Chris Morley seems to be making good progress with Crewe in the South of the county, so in terms of the new Cheshire East unitary authority, this leaves the large town of Macclesfield (pop 51,000) and its satellite village Bollington (pop 7,000) as the major remaining holes in the map.

Great. We'll have to have a mini-mapping party in Macclesfield in the Spring to finish off the roads in Cheshire. Or will you have knocked it off before then?
It's also good that Mike Harris of the Mid-Cheshire Footpaths Society is adding a lot of public footpaths all over the county.
