NATIONAL PARK BOUNDARIES ON ORDNANCE SURVEY MAPS

Early day motion 1274, tabled 21 May 2003 by Jackie Lawrence (Labour). Signed by 66 members.

That this House calls on Ordnance Survey to review their decision to remove national park boundaries from the OS Explorer maps; notes that every national park authority is opposed to the proposal and that the replacement illustrations of national park boundaries on the map cover will be useless in precisely describing park borders; affirms the role of the national park authorities as a point of information for visitors and local residents; regrets that under these proposals this valuable point of information will be made less accessible; and calls on Ordnance Survey to liaise with the Association for National Parks to ensure that national park boundaries continue to feature in OS Explorer maps.
