For any #Horsforth people interested, I've started making a local website that takes data from Open Street Map and shows it in directory form: horsforth.town/ It partly came from realising the domain was free but I also hoped to both find stuff that I hadn't known about and make it easier to see what metadata was out-of-date on OSM given the turnover of businesses. As a result I've already changed a bunch of Food Standards Agency IDs that didn't match up.

I'm using OSM as the database rather than create another silo of data because I get fed up of people being gatekeepers and I have little interest in being one. That means people can improve the data themselves although I haven't yet fully automated the pipeline to bring data in from OSM.

By the way, if you have an Android device, StreetComplete is a nice tool for updating metadata on OSM.
