The project was started by architect John Inglis, after a
discussion hosted by network Wapping, a grassroots group looking to promote
neighbourhood planning in the area. The map, which includes photos of problem
junctions geo-located on Google Maps, was launched with a series of photos taken
by John Inglis using a typical camera phone.
It is hoped that local residents will contribute their own photos* by emailing John via studio425@london.com or tweeting images to @johnsketches. To date, the project has received good support from hyper-local bloggers on Twitter but no photo contributions.

Assuming that enough information can be gathered, it is hoped
that the Bad Kerb Map can be used to direct investment into improving the
public realm in and around Wapping.
