Save The Ordnance Survey (Our Maps)

Please don't privatise the Ordnance Survey. It is a national asset and belongs to us the people

Why is this important?

High quality unbiased maps of the UK are essential and as such they should be kept free of particular commercial interests. I have used Ordnance Survey Maps all my life. The Survey has a long and distinguished history in the public sector and has led the world in map making survey techniques and cartography. This gem should not be debased nor should the availability of different scales of map be solely dependent on profit.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey
