@chris I haven’t looked at the OpenSpace layers for a bit… @gothwin is my goto person…;-)

Hi Tony,

I’m also having big trouble with using the OpenSpace API with thematics boundaries. I’m trying to map London Boroughs (LBO). See my trial at http://www.web-gis.co.uk/shelter.html
I’m stumped as to why it’s not working! I get boundaries showing up sometimes and sometimes they don’t!
Ideally, I’d like to make an interactive map of the data from here (http://england.shelter.org.uk/professional_resources/policy_library/policy_library_folder/repossessions_hotspots)
Let me know if you have any pointers.

Cheers,

Chris

Possibly – I’m not sure exactly what the “level” of the original areas is. As to tiling across those different areas, yes: I can see that may be problematic;-)

Do you have a data quality problem here? Sounds like you have data from different LG levels, but you’re trying to use it to tile a plane. Surely all the tiles must be at the same level, either all “county” level or all “district” level? And then are unitary authorities at _both_ levels? Tres tres messy!
