I was also going to look into LSOAs for what it's worth
Happy to input here when I get a chance (in GAIST mode atm).
District wards seem visible at https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/election-maps/gb/
Inspiration for desired output: https://maproom.net/demo/election-map/0.html
MP wards (aka parliamentary constituencies) are half-done, working on the rest. Others are up for grabs
Looking at MCAs and various LAs now. Will try to follow the example you've done for parliamentary constituencies
Here are what I'm using for LAs and MCAs (metro combined authorities?) Just putting here so it's logged somewhere
Let's go with the May 2023 data as a starting point, 5 months more recent.
Follow-up on this, here's a list of boundary layers from SchemeMapper:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
Boundary name -- Local Authority Districts (Lower Tier Local Authorities) Counties and Unitary Authorities (Upper Tier Local Authorities) Constituencies & MP's Government Regions Sub-National Transport Bodies Local Planning Authorities Local Transport Authorities England National Boundary Combined Authorities Local Enterprise Partnerships (Overlapping) Local Enterprise Partnerships (Non-Overlapping) ONS Built-up Areas ONS Major Towns and Cities
As much as possible, let's try to script the download + transform of these in the data-prep repo. We can explore the topojson format for minimizing file size + load time; https://github.com/mbloch/mapshaper is the tool that can convert GJ to topojson.
(This issue is related to #264, but more focused just on displaying layers in the browse page. We're not trying to change
authorities.geojson
in this repo, which is used for defining areas where people sketch schemes.)
