OpenStreetMap held a mapping party in this area on 14-15 October 2006 to make a creative commons licensed map that may be used in Wikipedia articles.
Thanks to all those wikipedians that took part. See http://www.openstreetmap.org for details of other planned mapping parties. |
Mayor
[edit]There has been a revert conflict between several numerical IP addresses and me about the name of the mayor. The IPs maintain that Margaret Simpson is mayor and initially linked to a Ghanaian heptathlete of that name. Lately the IPs (one of which has been blocked) have offered a supposed supporting reference but the cited source http://www.uppinghamonline.co.uk/ does not support their claim.
There is a Margaret Simpson in Uppingham, a retired primary head whose husband is a town councillor and former mayor, but she is not the mayor nor a town councillor.
The current members of Uppingham Town Council are shown on the town council’s website; http://www.uppinghamtowncouncil.co.uk/page3.html and http://www.rutnet.co.uk/pp/parish/detail.asp?id=12&page=5 which show that the mayor is Karen Senogles and this is confirmed by news reports, for example http://www.rutland-times.co.uk/news/Housing-development-officially-opened.5258382.jp from this year.
