Hi,

Could you look at this note? https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/4773421 Is there a very modest bridge?

Hello! Please have a look on https://www.osm.org/way/663042863/history (version 1, one of four objects). What is the mean of the tag reipppp = 3 ?
22025-06-08 10:31Firefishy REIPPP stands for the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme. 3 is 3rd phase of purchases.

Hi,

I'm wondering if this: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/243463024 continues here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1389965645

Do you have any idea what it carries? Might it be a branch of the "New Multi-Product Pipeline"? https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/17537279

I've added a second booth given there are actually a pair there.

Can you remember where the ref on the booth is in terms of which one is which?

I wonder if the ref field would be a better bet for tagging them?:

Again, what is the source for this footpath. It is not visible on the ground (so would need trail_visibility setting). The PROW is only signed on the far side of the railway bridge and not at all at the Proyer's Path end. I'm not aware that Brent have released their definitive map.
32018-08-19 12:14Firefishy I have walked the route many times. It is route that the majority of people who walk to/from the bridge use and it outside of the common pitch area. Yes, the western side before the paved path can be boggy in winter or after heavy rain.

The key point is that there is nothing on the ground (although just recently, some grass has been left long at the edges, and you can see the trampling, near the bridge). Also, the chances are that the path doesn't match the historic right of way.

Arc House is rectangular, and significantly elongated and I wouldn't classify it as "commercial", although refining the full nature probably awaits its opening. My provisional guess is that it is an open air theatre.
