Ben Thorner 297ab3e5ae Rename demo area to match govuk-alerts
Relates to: https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-govuk-alerts/pull/152

I ran the "create-broadcast-areas-db.py" script to regenerate the
Sqlite DB. Existing alerts with the old naming still appear correctly,
and since we don't (yet) store this text in the DB, there's nothing
more to update.

Adding or updating source files

If the files are in GeoJSON format you can drop them straight in.

If you have a Shapefile, for example from the ONS Open Geography Portal, you need to convert it:

  • download the .zip from the portal
  • extract it, giving you a folder with a few files in
  • go to https://mapshaper.org
  • drag all the files in the folder into mapshaper
  • click import
  • you should see a rendering of the shapes
  • click console (top right)
  • run this command: mapshaper -proj wgs84
  • click export (top right)
  • choose GeoJSON
  • click the button
  • done
