Hi Tommy,

Thanks a lot for your contributions in the area of Mons (and elsewhere, of course).

I think this node is unnecessary because redundant with the existing administrative boundary of Mons:  https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2372934.

Also, according to the site you referenced, the population figure is not 444,662 but 257,860. It says (1) “257 860 à Mons-Borinage et 186 802 sur notre partie de la Wallonie picarde”, which is, as their map shows (2), an area that includes Tournai and must thus not be included.

So, the population figure could be added to the administrative boundary relation and the node deleted.

What do you think?
