Littleport is a village of about 7,000 people in the heart of the Cambridgeshire Fens about 5 miles north of Ely. There was an almost believable skeleton of roads already present (quite a few residential streets) but it was highly selective and, it turned out, with lots of errors. Spent two mapping trips, today and last Tuesday, doing the town systematically so that it is now complete.
There is a large chunk of new housing being built of Highfield Drive in the southwest of the town. The first phase is largely complete, and now mapped of course, but the second phase is barely started, so Littleport will need another visit in a year or so to fill in these new streets.
