UK Quarterly Project Q1 2020
Slightly late on this one as we've been busy looking at the microgrants scheme.
What shall we do for the first quarterly project of 2020? There is a list of ideas collated from things mentioned on talk-gb here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:UK_Quarterly_Project but any ideas are welcomed.
If you have an opinion where we should focus, please share below.
Additionally, we'd still like to partner with a larger organisation for a quarterly project. If you have an interesting (and suitable) data set or a lead in an organisation that we could pursue, please let us know!

Major roads (lanes, speed limits, etc)
Paths/routes through parks and nature reserves
I'm holding off from buildings at the moment until we know more about the future of OS OpenData and/or the prospect of getting better aerial imagery.
