To CLC Essex - your Facebook page looks like you run a business from home. Unless you don't mind people turning up to try and buy videos between 9am and 5pm any day of the week (based on current tagging) you might not want a physical shop location mapped in OpenStreetMap (OSM). (I say this having tried to visit a business local to me to buy a ladder only to find a private house when I tracked down the address.) It's great though that you've added the missing Barrie Pavement and other local missing names as it is local knowledge which most helps improve OSM.

I would have thought it would be one or more of the electronic transfer methods mentioned on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_funds_transfer which the key:payment wiki page seems pretty silent about.

Hi. I'm guessing this is a private pool from the imagery (I live near, pass regularly, and have never seen it advertised), so the wiki suggests adding access=private leisure=swimming_pool - did you want to do this, or shall I? Best wishes, Ed

Hi Ian, The earlier message was probably this changeset comment. I still mean to get back and have a look (as I did at the weekend when someone mentioned a railway crossing nearer Thorpe-le-Soken now has dog gates. https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/RuUlGnrZ94dxEHUI2MFtiw

Some of those buildings you just added need removing again... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-51586370

This changeset has caused an infinite loop in my boundary validation routine because Killerry and Killnummery are both members of each other. Is that correct? They are both members of Killenumery relation/10728329

Hi Steve. The story in today's Gazette about the window stickers suggest that the Halal butchers counter is just part of the store, though I've not seen the store itself. Ed

Is it definitely two kissing gates? When I last walked it it was stiles - https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/nn9nEzVdY07t0QAlixC8hQ

Hi and welcome to openstreetmap. I'm guessing from the node history that the cycle barrier is on the path rather than the road so should have been on a separate node on the path rather than the node where the path joins the road. If you agree it might be worth adding a new node to the path (where imagery suggests the barrier would likely be) and move the barrier and access tags to there? Best wishes. Ed

Thanks

Thanks. I think all routes that stop at any bus stops in the Tendring, Colchester or Maldon district have all been updated to v2 - I wrote a validation tool to compared what is in OSM (at v2) to what is in the Open Datasets and I try to run it every week or so to check for changes. Today I got around to adding a check for gaps in the route and wondered why I was only seeing about 6 (another roundabout that had been merged again). Those now hopefully fixed too. Will bookmark the link you gave. The opendata comparison tool I used is in github https://github.com/EdLoach/CheckPublicTransportRelations

Thank you. After splitting the roundabout after someone merged it I was going to get around to fixing the routes. I just went to do so and found you got there first. I'd be interested to know how you spotted them?

Sorry. I meant to say "Welcome to OpenStreetMap". Festival Gardens looked a bit big, so I shrank it to what the background imagery is more reasonable. The other one seemed to be over an area of houses so I have removed it for now. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.

Are you sure these are correct?

"as it was down as a barrier it was showing that cars cannot pass through" - I suspect the motor_vehicle=yes tag on the nodes should have been enough for your router to allow cars past. Though I've not written a router like Richard has, so defer to his greater experience.

Thank you for adding the references. Once I spotted Great Bentley FP5 had had the reference added I used overpass turbo to find FP4 so I could add this note - note/1922237#map=17/51.85771/1.05273&layers=N

You're confusing routes and route variants. I now have three route variants to restore as the route has 5 variants, not the two you've left.

Is this really a pub? I can't find anything about it on the web, including WhatPub. Also, can you confirm whether the Crown opposite this new pub is permanently closed as https://whatpub.com/pubs/ROT/285/crown-wath-upon-dearne suggests?

I've found it and made a start. Might take a few iterations to sort out, but for now have put the campsite tags on the area and the address tags on the reception building (so things like OsmAnd will guide to the building). Have also added the car park.

I'm surprised I mapped it as a node in the first place - my son has been here annually with beavers, cubs and most recently scouts. I've also picked him up from Thriftwood way/126303332 which is also mapped as a private access camp site, but as an area. The node in this instance has been moved to the main reception building which has a map on the outer wall which I've photographed a couple of times with the aim of improving the mapping of this area - I'll see if I can dig it out.
