[edit] Extract

seperating the districts into four groups makes the data harder to extract.

[edit] Renamings

Under the renaming section, I think one has been left out. I believe that Nuneaton and Bedworth was renamed from being called just 'Nuneaton'. G-Man 22:31, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Southwark/London border

Hmm. Saying "boundary is not vertical" is somewhat weird here. Is there a defined altitude below which you are in Southwark? Also, the City seems to control the place where the bridge touches down at the Southwark side, for a decent amount, including buildings. I've seen Corporation litterbin collectors go right up to the griffin, which is easily 20m inland, so how does that work here? does southwark covers the foundations? i think we should be told.

Also, streetmap shows only London Bridge span to be part of the City. [1] I have a map from 1970 that shows all of Blackfriars and half of London Bridge under City control. I suspect these have been altered at some point. It would be good to find out for sure... MRSC • Talk 12:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
