Thanks.

Hi & Welcome to OpenStreetMap,

I'm afraid we're not very good at maintaining bus stops & I'm not sure the route of the Local Link bus is even shown. I see that it goes up Charlbury Drive: years ago I went looking for a bus stop sign up there.

However, the city council has a full list of bus stops in a form which we can use here: https://www.opendatanottingham.org.uk/dataset.aspx?id=2.

It would be nice to have Local Link 5 in OSM, so I'm happy to help getting it added (my late mother used to catch it back from the hairdresser on Farndon Green).

8.7 kW looks much too low for the plant mapped here, perhaps you meant 8.7MW

Ah, I did wonder if that was the case. Used to visit back in the glory days of the 1980s.

AFAIK the former Inmos (STMicroelectronics) building was vacated by 2016 (possibly earlier). There was a fair bit of press coverage about the refurb: https://www.rrnews.co.uk/multi-million-pound-office-refurbishment-at-aztec-west-set-to-provide-much-needed-modern-business-space/

Hi & Welcome to OSM.

Great to see both paths and an address added in the countryside (we just need a few more thousands of each).

I've made one small change to your driveway in that I've changed it from living street to a driveway. I've also added a few of your neighbour's houses (with driveways) and the farm opposite the paths, and the wood down to the river.: mainly so that your house doesn't look so prominent.

I've left the path which starts by the bend for now, although I assume it runs for a few metres along one of the drives.

Some adjacent townlands (e.g. Upper Coole Glebe) have already been mapped with other details (buildings, hedges, farm tracks etc). You may feel it's worth adding some of these at a later time.

Best wishes,

Hi Rohit,

This appears to be a temporary closure, which may have been reinstated (see http://auckleyparish.co.uk/Hurst%20Lane.pdf). Often this type of work runs on. If you have traces later than October it's probably OK to remove the access=no, but best to wait for the original editor to respond.

Hi Brian,

Hmm, not trying to get you to suck eggs. Currently it's mapped as not mapped as a shop at all which is what drew my attention to it (way/158005243). So was trying to be helpful in getting it a bit more precise.

I know their proposition very well: I helped Homebase, who had shop-within-shop Laura Ashley franchises, build their data warehouse. It was one of the quirks in the data we had to account for.

LA outlets tend to be clothes, clothes/fabric/furniture or fabric/furniture. With those in town centre locations being more likely to be clothes; out-of-town & retail parks being everything; franchise locations (if they still exist) w/o the clothes. The "no clothes" one in Nottingham is/was called "Laura Ashley Home": way/244747285.

It's not absolutely certain (i.e., you'd have to go in & check) but I'd say rather likely even without having seen a job advert for a clothing retail position in this store, and even if not absolutely right is still better than shop=yes or just building=retail.

Jerry

Laura Ashley looks to be shop=clothes given they are advertising a post there with "fashion & apparel" as the business area. Also location would suggest furniture/wallpaper a bit far fetched.

Dear Garmin User,

Please do not do this. You will break lots and lots of things which real people really use. If you continue to do this I will need to report this to the Data Working Group.

Please read all the pages on the wiki about the Irish Townlands project and you might realise this tagging is a consensus which has existed for many years.

Yours,

Jerry

This plant is not yet under construction. See Sentinel-2 imagery from 2 days ago: https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/sentinel-playground/?source=S2&lat=39.45130544035617&lng=-6.557507514953613&zoom=15&preset=1-NATURAL-COLOR&layers=B01,B02,B03&maxcc=100&gain=1.0&gamma=1.0&time=2019-05-01%7C2019-11-03&atmFilter=&showDates=false.

Sorry, I wondered if I should have been more specific. There's limited use of barrier=lych_gate (see https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/barrier=lych_gate). I suspect most are mapped as gates, although as they are often war memorials historic=memorial sometimes applies (see way/371530695). It's certainly worth adding at least one of shelter_type=lych_gate (or lychgate), barrier=lych_gate, even if it only helps the next mapper.

I was just wondering how many amenity=shelter objects we might have in the East Midlands, and how many were things other than bus stops. The location of this one therefore stood out.

I'd suggest using a lifecycle prefix on the climb as well as access=no.

Hi,

I just wondered if this amenity=shelter (node/6311706089) is a church lych gate?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi & welcome to OSM,

Just looking at your edits because you commented on the marina/sailing club in Pwllweli. I'll respond separately to that: any local knowledge for Llŷn is very welcome as most mapping is done by visitors

This complex looks like the whole area can be mapped as amenity=university, perhaps with operator=University of Sheffield. (Interesting addition, I was unaware that it existed, so peeked at their website https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/aps/about/awec-af-9-12-09).

Like @DaveF I see no reason to add unnecessary access restrictions.

Quite clearly from the presence of stiles alone this is a footpath, and if someone cycles on use it that doesn't change the position. I'm not going to re-map all local pavements (sidewalks) as cycleways because I've seen cyclists on them.

In general the only reason to add such tags is to provide a positive over-ride on the defaults.

I've added the relevant buildings & now have a much better idea of what is what. Initial suggestions are to make the all the service roads access=destination, and make the N-S stretch to the E of the main house at Court St Lawrence access=private. I believe this section is also a public footpath so in time this access will need refining.

You can re-add the bit of through driveway between Springfield Farm & Orchard House with the same tag. I'm assuming you want your guests there to arrive from the driveway to the N.

To do this for an existing single road you need to cut it into pieces, Select a "node" point on the road, right mouse click and one of the icons is a little pair of scissors which splits the line ("way") into 2.

The only fly in the ointment is that I bet your local postie uses the Court St Lawrence driveways as a cut-through.

Adding lots of driveways is a relatively new thing (largely driven by logistics firms) but fortunately we've had relatively few cases like yours to date. On the plus side such cases enable us to push clearer guidelines as to best practice so that everyone gets the map & data they need.

Jerry

Ah, thought as much.

I'll have a closer look so I understand the actual arrangement on the ground: as an addicted mapper there are always other things to add. Once I've done that I'll probably make some further suggestions.

Hi & welcome to OSM.

I imagine this change has been made because you've experienced people thinking they can use your driveway to cross between the two minor roads. It is unfortunate that some apps which consume data from OSM treat service roads as routable for ordinary cars.

However, these change may have an unanctipated effect. The driveway was added by an employee of Amazon Logistics. They add data to OSM to improve efficiency of delivery drivers, particularly in rural areas where post codes are less useful. Changing access to no may impact delivery services from Amazon. An alternative access type which ought to both keep rat-runners away & allow delivery driver routing would be access=destination.

Also in principle just a short section of access=no should have the same effect as marking the whole driveway.

If the reasons for the change are other than my speculation, you can of course ignore this message.

One last thing, these discussions are public so if you want something more private OSM has a messaging system built in, or I have a gmail account SK53 dot osm.

I wonder why you changed the Waterguard to real_ale yes. It was all keg when I visited, and many Sam Smith's pubs don't sell real ale.
