Do Jordan Hill and Lakeside constitute neighbourhoods in their own right? Property sites seem to think so.

Suburb node "Cutteslowe" node/14191310 within suburb relation "North Oxford" relation/13046270 (which has a proper label node of its own). The hierarchy's gone a little odd if that's happening.

Idk if North Oxford should encompass Oxford North. Should Wolvercote contain Wolvercote Cemetary?

Perhaps Summertown, Sunnymead, and Cutteslowe should be promoted to suburbs (ideally if we can figure out the boundaries - Cutteslowe should be easy, given its history)

Or should Cutteslowe be downgraded to an OSM quarter?

"Western end" of Cuckoo Lane close for 5 months, according to the Clarion: https://oxfordclarion.uk/clarion-weekly-24-october-2025/. Is that enough to mark it closed to foot?

Not sure it it's here exactly, but it's to be closed "until 30 March for “repairs to improve accessibility”", and this section is on a big slope...

North Oxford golf club to close and be redeveloped as housing in late October 2025 (h/t to the Oxford Clarion again!)

Submissions to Cherwell District council show the redevelopment covering the entire area:

https://www.cherwell.gov.uk/site-search/results/?q=PR6b

The wider aspects of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 are summarised in the first result, "PR6b Land West of Oxford Road Development Brief Cherwell District Council August 2022", and that's well worth a look too. However, this OSM note is just about the immediate aspects of the golf club being shuttered soon: "disused:" prefixes for all the buildings, holes and fairways, I guess. Won't be a building site for a bit, I imagine.
