Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edit, however the correct way to tag somewhere that has closed is to change the amenity tag to disused:amenity rather that change the name. At the moment this is mapped as a cafe called Vacant.

Hi, welcome to OSM and thank you for your edit.
I have just spotted a Lloyds TSB on the High Street and as you are local I wonder if you could correct it.
Thanks Phil

Hi, this edit looks a little strange. Has TJs really reopened here? Is your survey recent?

Isn't using highway=service for way/652521735 a little misleading? Not sure if you have been there, but it is very much a track from my experience as a local.

Thank you for that information, your edit was great please do keep adding to OSM. It was just seeing changes to the Shropshire Way which caused concern and whether they were known about.
Cheers Phil

Hi, thank you for your edit and for updating OSM.
Just a couple of quick questions
1. Were there diversion notices
2. Did the 'new' route have the new orange waymarks in place?
Cheers Phil

Posttowns are primarily for Royal Mail operational purposes, they are not intended to describe the geographical or political area.
Whilst not perfect, addr :city has been used to describe the place which is what local people will identify to. I am fairly sure that the people of Raunds do not consider themselves residents of Wellingborough.

My own small town suffers the same fate of being considered part of a larger town 20km away, it is a large political issue with the problems it causes with deliveries going to a similar address in a different town or even the police turning up to arrest someone with the same address, but in a different town.

OSM should be a geographical database, not tweaked to reflect a large organisations view of the world. When I travel I really don't care where the local Royal Mail comes from.

Maybe if there is a usecase for including the post town in OSM but that really should be a separate tag, maybe addr:posttown, but existing tags should reflect the geographic reality.

Mapping is great fun, by far my favourite way of updating the map is to go out and explore my local area.

Remote mapping using websites will by its nature favour the large chains, whereas surveying will add the independents that only exist in one place and are what make each High Street unique.

Please go out and explore, you will find some real gems and add the local knowledge that makes OpenStreetMap stand out from corporate maps.

Hi, this is a very odd name for a convienience shop, what is its actual function?

64983881 about 7 years ago

Hi, it is an easy mistake to make. But information found on websites is copyright and we must not copy such information.

You may find this page helpful osm.wiki/Beginners_Guide_1.1

Hi, what is the source of this edit. Have you visited these places to confirm that these shops have in facet changed and that they are still open.
You edits do seem to cover a very large area, you may need to read osm.wiki/Automated_edits and discuss these edits with the UK community. See https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Hi, welcome to OSM. Did you obtain explicit permission to copy the opening hours from the website?

64110060 about 7 years ago

Hi, this is an odd name. Is this really the address?
Cheers Phil

I have removed this duplication and added the website to the original object.

Hi, welcome to OSM. When adding things to OSM please check that what you are not duplicating existing features. The Kendal Caravan club site already exists, I am removing this duplication.

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edit, however one small thing. Where paths join you should just connect them with a node, it should not be tagged as a railway crossing.

There is really a monument here, have you any details?

5250175 about 7 years ago

Hi, has this construction been finished yet?
It was added 8 years ago and still nothing on any imagery which seems a little odd.
Cheers Phil

Hi, is way/36995595/history really closed?
Cheers Phil

Hi Mike
Once construction begins you can begin adding the line in from your own estimations. Once it is complete and you can walk it you can use the gps trace to improve the alignment.
We certainly must not use planning applications as a source, the maps will be based on OS maps and we must not copy from those.

I did have a look at this area last week, sad considering how I remember it. Used to cycle here during school holidays, the old Lubbesthorpe Bridle Road was something special.

Sadly the 14 speed bumps are all too real.
Cheers Phil
