OpenStreetMap
I was aghast last night to discover that major areas of Liverpool are still unmapped, despite there being good Yshoo aerial coverage. So I've added loads of streets around Croxteth Park. I'll leave it for somebody else to name the streets...

I also took GPX tracks of a drive from Runcorn to Widnes & Warrington, although this area is well mapped. These have been uploaded anyway, might help to validate what's there already.
On Sunday I had a walk around Sankey Valley Park, armed with GPS, so have now added quite a few footpaths onto there.

If anywhere needs a bit of TLC in the Merseyside area its central Birkenhead: lots of roads missing in the centre, and the aerial photos are quite hard to interpret particularly around the tunnel entrances. I suspect that this is one of the places which at a superficial glance looks 'done'.

I've just done a little more around Birkenhead, and keep doing little bits around Liverpool, however it might be an idea to have a mapping party to get the names added in. Where the aerial photos are hard to interpret it might be worth not touching that area, adding what you can from Yahoo makes the area look complete and can make it harder to edit by people on the ground who are confused about where the data has come from.
