Hi Jonathon
The customer comment makes far more sense. "Its completely closed from Thurcaston road side. This corner should be closed" in no way suggests this road is oneway, it suggests that the connection to Thurcaston Road does not exist, for motor vehicles at least, which matches available imagery.

I have removed the oneway and changed the connect to Thurcaston Road to footway as the pavement is clearly not obstructed which is backed up by strava heatmap usage.

Hi Jonathon, welcome to OSM. This edit just doesn't ring true at all.

It would be kind of odd for this road to be oneway for its entire length because..

1. Imagery shows it as two lane, and typical industrial area construction.

2. It would force traffic onto Thurcaston Lane, which has not been a primary traffic route for decades and would route heavy vehicles down Mowmacre Hill and through a residential area which would be stupid in the extreme. Such planning permission would be unlikely.

Do you have any photographic evidence? Have you been here and surveyed it.

You say 'customer has advised'. This suggests that you user page should say who you are working for.

Hi, this edit has some errors.

This is clearly a supermarket car park yet you have added what should be tagged as service=parking_aisle as service=driveway. This is very clearly an error that should be obvious from aerial imagery.

Also please improve the map in these cases and add the car park as that is what a map user is likely to want to find.

Interesting, to my knowledge the only access to Pool House is from Newtown Linford Lane where there are some quite impressive security gates and intercom.

This gate has to my knowledge not been opened in a very long time and I find it difficult to believe that they would have gone to that expense of extra gates to enter/exit to what would be a dangerous place on the A50.

Do you have GPS traces of this section being used?

Unfortunately I do not have any usable imagery of the gate that I can use to illustrate it.

Unfortunately maps.me cannot be relied upon when it comes to hotels as it replaces them with objects from booking.com which are often in the wrong place.

This hotel is mapped on the grounds, rather than the building which probably confused maps.me.

You should always review your edits on osm.org through a browser.

No problem, it did look a bit odd.

Please keep your changes to smaller area, large areas such as this make it very difficult for local mappers to review the changes in their areas.
Also please carefully review your edits before uploading, in this changeset you have duplicated the Holiday Inn Lancaster tags for a second time. Please be more careful.

Kebab House sounds like a description rather than an actual name.

Hi
You have got this edit very very wrong. The section which was previously mapped as a track is very much a track. From the A50 is not in any way a a means to reach the house as the gate hasn't been openable in decades and typically for the area will have a very large lump of granite behind it.

Please revert this edit.

Hi John
Welcome to OSM and thank you for your edit.

In OSM we map school object details on the campus, rather than the building. In this case the school was already mapped and you have duplicated the name on the building.

Is The Chapel no longer a place of worship? If it is now a private dwelling, then addr:housename may be more appropriate than the name tag.

Has the phonebox been removed? Many red phone boxes remain long after the phone has gone and find other uses. If this is the case it is better to replace the tags with building=phonebox.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Please keep your changes to sensible areas. If you are making small changes in Europe please save and start a new changeset before you move on to the USA.

The existing tag designation=public_footpath indicates that this is a right of way on foot only. The complainant is correct and bicycle=yes should be removed.

Hi, welcome to OSM and thank you for your rights of way mapping.

However the references you have added are not actual names, the are references give by the local authority. The consensus is that these should be added as prow_ref and not in the name tag. It is perfectly possible that a section of path will have an actual name.

More specialis renders of the OSM database will show prow_ref for example http://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=17&lat=52.827408&lon=-2.02451

Hope this helps and if you have any questions just ask, either me or we are a helpful bunch on irc irc://irc.oftc.net/osm-gb

Please don't do this.

This is legal restriction and we need capture what the sign actually says.

In the UK all height restrictions are in feet and inches, some are dual signed in metres. Only then should we add the height in metres.

A height restriction to 4 decimal places is clearly ridiculous.
