+# In the UK, you probably want, to cover all councils:
 # MAPIT_URL: 'http://mapit.mysociety.org/'
+# MAPIT_TYPES: [ 'DIS', 'LBO', 'MTD', 'UTA', 'CTY', 'COI', 'LGD' ]
+# But perhaps MAPIT_TYPES: [ 'WMC' ] if you want to report on a per-constituency basis?
+# If our global MapIt (using OpenStreetMap data) contains boundaries you can use:

+# If your MapIt has the concept of council wards (subareas of councils, where
+# people can sign up for alerts, but not report things), then you can give the
+# MapIt type codes for them here.
+# You can probably leave this blank, but in the UK we use something like:
+# MAPIT_TYPES_CHILDREN: [ 'DIW', 'LBW', 'MTW', 'UTE', 'UTW', 'CED', 'COP', 'LGW' ]

 # The type of map you want to use. If left blank, the default is OpenStreetMap.
