Searching addresses which fall in the adjacent town #27

nearest town

I found a scenario that might need further discussion. When searching for 141 Plank Road Prospect the address cannot be found. When using Google the address is found in Cheshire. So, when changing the address to Cheshire in the One Call system the location is found.

Interestingly, the map shows the address in Prospect (because now we are showing the boundaries of the towns).

Is there perhaps an ability for near matches to be listed (i.e. found address in an adjacent town)?

As a follow on from this, I have been using alternative search methods along this street to find the site. The intersecting streets along Plank Street do not resolve (even if you nominate they are in Cheshire).

I will investigate and then comment further when I actually know something useful.
