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
