August & September 2023: Expanded coverage of Tracks and Paths
During August, and therefore before the September monthly supplies, we will be expanding our coverage of Paths and Tracks to the whole of Great Britain.
Previously, Paths and Tracks were provided only for urban areas.
This means that if you take a full supply of Path Link, Path Node and/or Path, Connecting Link or Connecting Node during August, this supply will have significantly grown in the total number of features compared to what you may have recently received, due to this expansion of coverage.
Equally, if you currently receive a monthly COU for any of the previously mentioned feature types, your Change Only Update will be significantly larger in September.
OS NGD Address Theme
April & May 2023: Local Authority changes in the GB Address Collection
In our addressing products, we provide information detailing which local authority an address is within. As of 01 April 2023, several local authorities have reorganised to form new authorities. This means that the local authority code for all addresses within the affected authorities will change from the old authority to the new one, resulting in larger than normal Change-Only Updates (COUs) for feature types in the GB Address Collection.
The Government Statistical Services (GSS) codes for the local authority areas will be updated in May 2023, again resulting in larger than normal Change-Only Updates (COUs) for feature types in the GB Address Collection.
The following table lists the changes to the local authorities:
