WikiProject Midlothian New Development
The Lothian cycle charity Spokes are planning to update their paper maps based partially on OSM data. They have asked for new developments in Midlothian to be updated before the end of October if possible. The main items requiring mapping are roads and road names, but other details are helpful.
This page is to collate a list of new developments and when they were last surveyed. A rough priority has been assigned to some, but feel free to update. Higher priority should be given to sites where there has been development but no survey for a while, i.e. there is significant difference on the ground to the map.
This table is likely still incomplete... please add any other developments you are aware of.
If you are going to go out and do a planned survey, please add a note to the comments column to try and avoid duplication.
