All the initial map data has beenbuilt from scratch since 2004 by volunteers performing systematic ground surveys. Thesevolunteer ‘Open Mappers’ might be walkers, cyclists or drivers who have entered relevantdata into the OpenStreetMap database from their computers.Volunteers continue to edit, update and improve the basic maps. One such person is ChrisHill who is on a mission to map the East Riding. He has visited Hedon and ensured that itsroads, with their names and any obvious amenities and landmarks such as churches,schools, pubs, parks and some shops have been added.Chris still has work to complete and would be keen to see others get involved. He says:
The biggest element missing is footpaths and, of course, any inaccuracies that have slipped in, as well as keeping the map up-to-date with changes. If anyone wants to join the project they are more than welcome, either toimprove their local area or the wider area. If anyone wants to contact me (viachilly809@yahoo.co.uk  ) I’d be pleased to point them in the right direction, but they should know that it can be a very addictive hobby! 
You can follow Chris’ adventures at his blogOpen Maps.Other related information that complements OpenStreetMap:The Geograph ProjectHedon on WikipediaThis weekend’s JigZone puzzle does NOT have a Hedon link - in fact a secondary puzzle forreaders to ponder might be:“In which major English city was this piece of public art erected?”As ever - click the image to play and you need Java enabled in your computer browser.

Useful Videos
see all videosThe Hedon Blog is an example of new digital ‘citizen’ media which enables the ordinaryJoes and Josephines of the world to publish to the web without having to recruit a skilled -often expensive - ‘geek’ to do the job for us. But this is just one aspect of the 21st centurydigital age we have entered into.The following excellent presentation from theDigital Inclusion Teamreveals a little aboutthis new world, but also reminds us that a significant minority are not yet included andgetting the benefits of new digital technology. The facts and figures will be useful to allthose promoting digital inclusion.This is the YouTube version. The Hedon Blog did get the relevant programming code fromthe Digital Inclusion Team and is extremely grateful for their support, but unfortunatelyWordPress.com only allows videos from certain sources to be included on its sites. If youprefer the original can be viewed via the linkThink About it….:“This video ‘Think about it’ has been created by the Digital Inclusion Team. It sets out howwe can take the opportunity to use technology as a tool for improving lives and lifechances or face the risk of increasing economic and social costs. This presentation is available for anyone to place on their website or use when needing toexplain the benefits of ICT in tackling social exclusion.Please email movies@digiteam.org.uk.”
A meeting is to be held at South Holderness School onThursday 14th May 4:30pm - 7:30pm to allow forconsultation to take place on the East Riding Council’sproposed car parking charges reports the Hull Daily Mailtoday.The local meeting in Preston is part of a series of consultation “Roadshows” taking place across the EastRiding.SeeConsultation on Car Parking Reviewon the East RidingCouncil website for more information and the precisedetails of the meetings.

Indeed, Hedon does not even appear in the document.The document does have the aim to support voluntary and community groups to helpinclusiveness and give a voice to harder-to-reach groups to have a say on the issues thatmatter to them. Perhaps those involved in voluntary endeavour in Hedon need to join moreeffectivel with the Town Council and hel them advocate for the town and its lace in the
