OpenStreetMap
I went to this industrial park, and found a few roads where then name was labelled differently on either side of the road. One side would have a space and and extra 's' on the end. So is one in error? (If so, which?) Or do we really have to label each side of the road?
I also notice that 'Hooties' has been rendered rather oddly.

When I find something like this I email the local council and ask for the correct name, explain that I want it for OpenStreetMap, and provide a link to the place in question.
I've always received polite replies.

When a street has two names or two forms of writing the same name I usually just add a alt_name=Whatever so that it become searchable under both names -- even if one of them is clearly incorrect let users search by this name. This happens also in Spain and elsewhere that there's a new and old form of writing a name or just a wit of whoever decided on the labels.
