This location seems wrong for a business based in Summertown. I've moved the details to https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/5378694 , which needs surveying on the ground to fill in house numbers in that block.

(Details below copied from https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/5358988 , which was created at the wrong location based on a name match, presumably. We really need street numbers out here!) This Note's location is just a better gues, primarily from side of road and it on the address of the school. The OP was likely wanting their business to show at "The Quad" at Lambourn House, which is 311-321 Banbury Road. Their website checks out, so it could/should get a counsellors' office too. https://quadworkspace.co.uk/premium-workspaces-oxford-summertown/ ← for the co-working space https://www.proplist.com/listing/carter-jonas-oxford/lambourne ← property listing ------------8<------------ onosm.org submitted note from a business: Name: My Solution Wellbeing Counselling Oxford addr:housenumber=House 311 addr:street=The Qaud, Summertown Lambourne, 321 Banbury Rd addr:city=Oxford Phone number: 01865602134 Website: https://www.mysolutionwellbeing.com/counselling-oxford/ Opening Hours: Mon - Sun:08:00 AM - 09:00 PM Category: Career Counseling Accepted payment methods: ------------>8------------

Bershka to come "later this year". Apparently in the former River Island unit at this location, according to the Oxford Clarion[1], but the press release[2] does not mention that, just "Upper Ground floor next to H&M and Urban Outfitters" (it does not say "between".

I've gone with line_arrangement=semi_vertical, after a bit of reading up on the tags. line_attachment=anchor for these. The tower is a line_management=split, and the downward lines are already shown separately as a pair of 3-cable lines. I've ended each one in a termination point (representing the 3 separate actual insulators), although each one could be a transition point to an underground cable going off somewhere unverifiable. I assume it gets stepped down here before underground distribution to farms/suburbs/villages.

"Western end" of Cuckoo Lane close for 5 months, according to the Clarion: https://oxfordclarion.uk/clarion-weekly-24-october-2025/. Is that enough to mark it closed to foot? Not sure it it's here exactly, but it's to be closed "until 30 March for “repairs to improve accessibility”", and this section is on a big slope...

Seems passable right now. There's a little bit of work going on at the place it forks, at the "woodland path" going down to Red Oak, but they've made a diversion.

♦827
Yikes. I'll see what I can do. Good spot! So to document the situation, this one, https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2392043906, is the cafe/bar visible in the photo at https://www.bestwestern.fr/en/hotel-Oxford-Best-Western-Linton-Lodge-Hotel-83647, and it seems to have always been positioned correctly for that purpose. However, it has data from the 99 Gloucester Green "The Spires" cafe mixed in, which is our https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/12050789742 and its owners' https://www.thespirescafe.com/. And our node for the 99GG one has always been where it is now for its year and a bit of existence. Just in case @ist410 is coming in from a tool or applying automated edits to a node cached by ID somewhere, I think I ought to delete and recreate the Linton Road one that's attracted the wrong edits, and make sure that the new one is clearly the one that's part of Linton Lodge somehow.
3~ 6 months agocommentedAndrew Chadwick
♦827
The nodes have the same FHRS ID currently, which is incorrect[^1], but it probably explains how the mistakes happened, given the breadth of the changesets. The same user has edited both, but more of the edits went to the wrong one (as predicted by sod's law). Maybe I needn't delete anything, just correct.

This road (presumably all of it) is now designated as a School Street, according to the County Council website. In other words, there are now additional restrictions around school opening and closing times, which should be signposted by the road already.

I think there's enough info on the two information board nodes now to cover this. OSM objects aren't supposed to be a place to record every word really, just the title/name. The OSM object looks good to me, so I'll mark this note as resolved now. Photos on Notes disappear some weeks after their Note is marked resolved, so please consider them as transient aids to mapping. If you really want to preserve this image, consider uploading it to Wikimedia Commons and linking it on the object. → https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:image → https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikimedia_commons Some people like to link into Wikidata for some OSM objects too, and from there to everything else. Normally I think that's too much, though. → https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata

North Oxford golf club to close and be redeveloped as housing in late October 2025 (h/t to the Oxford Clarion again!) https://www.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/news/25427673.oxford-university-plans-build-new-homes-golf-club/ Submissions to Cherwell District council show the redevelopment covering the entire area: https://www.cherwell.gov.uk/site-search/results/?q=PR6b The wider aspects of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 are summarised in the first result, "PR6b Land West of Oxford Road Development Brief Cherwell District Council August 2022", and that's well worth a look too. However, this OSM note is just about the immediate aspects of the golf club being shuttered soon: "disused:" prefixes for all the buildings, holes and fairways, I guess. Won't be a building site for a bit, I imagine.

Address interpolations cannot run along the outside of a building, and these addresses will not work correctly. These need an interpolation way instead, leading from somewhere near the main entrance to "inside", away from the main entrance to convey corect meaning, if we can't go inside and find where all the corridors and staircases really are :) Separate stairway-exclusive address ranges work similarly, if there's an external door to the siaircase. See Cooper House and Marina House for how it's supposed to be done. Since these are street addresses, not flat addresses, the house name is unneccessary for the address. The only alternatives is addr:place and addr:parentstreet, but that's very counterintuitive. It is sufficient if all the addresses as interpolated are within the building outline. addr:housename has the same level of meaning as addr:housenumber. It is not subordinate.
2~ 8 months agocommentedgmar5
♦660
The wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Interpolation says: > Some mappers use addr:interpolation=* on a single object to indicate that its addr:housenumber=* is to be treated as a range rather than an atomic label (discussed above). There is not a consensus on whether this is appropriate. I am one of those mappers. The interpolation tag on the same object as the number range is clean and makes perfect logical sense. Since there is no consensus and both methods are documented, I don't think we can say that it "cannot go" there or how it is "supposed to be done". Creating a fictional interpolation segment, where numbers are in fact not between the two physical locations, looks like tagging for the renderer (or search engine) in my opinion. If the search engine cannot find an address, it is a problem of the engine, not necessarily of the tagging method. On your second point, addresses here look like this: FLAT 2, COOPER HOUSE, WILLIAM MORRIS CLOSE, OXFORD, OX4 2DE It happens that the flat numbers also seem to follow the street numeration, so addr:housenumber might be more useful than addr:flats, but in any case the building name should be part of the address, and addr:housename seems more appropriate and intuitive than addr:parentstreet.

Marker position approximate, of course. "Eight glass polyhedrons spread across Fallaize Park [that] invite you to gather, talk, spend time, and share space with one another", says the Instagram post. So presumably the site is now publicly accessible on foot from at least one of the two surrounding urban motorways that have bike tracks? Have to check. (h/t @proseandpassion@mastodon.social)

asked the proprietor. Juhi are a dark kitchen doing delivery only, mostly, renting space from the pub landlords, and also providing pub grub on a separate menu page inside the pub as well as the Indian food for anyone wanting a meal, sold to the customers at the bar. They have a lot of signage outside, but no food told of their own inside.

They're accessible, and used to the extent that the grass is trodden. I've been able to walk all the way around Carrot Hill this evening. Also there's a bird hide or shooting stand at the edge of a coppiced depression, facing onto what is currently a stubble field. I'll add it separately. Not much in the way of "private land" signage, as there is elsewhere on this land, the idea is you follow the telegraph wires at the fork (!) I think we should go with private footpath tagging.

check bus stop local_ref on the ground. I think the "E" is from it being east-bound, and may be misleading. Makes you think it's part of the St Clements Street stop area's A, B and C.

Check bus stop local_refs on the ground for this one, plus the 2 down Cowley Road and also the 2 down Iffley Road named "The Plain". Do they have any real local area reference numbers on them? Those are the numbers or letters shown on that pole-top lollipop as seen at the big stop areas like Headington/Westgate/the JR. This one won't, probably. It's only used by tour buses, and it perhaps doesn't even have a real sign or markings. NaPTAN knows about it though, and it's a part of the tourist bus route. It's a bit difficult to tell what's physically present while the Waynflete Annexe redevelopment boards and scaffolding are up, however. The two on Cowley Road and Iffley Road just might have real local_refs.

It needs to be verified whether this restaurant is still in operation. According to the FHRS, the last inspection was in March 2025. The most recent Instagram post and photo are also dated March 2025. The restaurant does not have a website and cannot be found on any other maps.

The cycleway goes behind the bus stop here now, before dumping you back onto the main road at a sharp angle (of course). It's more recent than the Bing imagery, which I think captures the start of the work on it. Needs surveying on the ground and joining to the paths north of Harberton Mead #surveyme

What tag should we use? Is it a type of asphalt or a resin?
3~ 11 months agocommentedextua
♦298
It's small pieces of grit, held together by something, but I need to go back to really check what it is. I think it would be worth discussing adding a 'non-slip' value to the surface key. The main quality of the surface here is not exactly what it's made of but the fact it's grippy.
4~ 11 months agocommentedAndrew Chadwick

Quite possibly bitumen-bound gravel, like https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dchipseal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipseal has a similar looking surface pictured further down the page.

Closing, since this was just an illustration and there's nothing to do from it. I hope we're all happy with the way level=* and level:ref=* work for the complex now. It's wiki-mandated OSM standard™, but it also reflects the operators' floor numbering (even though they have an upper and a lower ground. Does the mapping need a wiki page entry? Much of it can probably be explained by referring to the lifts: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5186653717 is the best example. Now, who wants to do the JR site? There, their site "-2" ought really to represented as level=0 + level:ref=-2 😵‍💫

The Swanbrook 853 bus to Cheltenham got bought up by Stagecoach https://www.thebridgeburford.co.uk/post/stagecoach-takes-over-oxford-burford-cheltenham-bus-route, and turned into or merged with the S2 https://bustimes.org/registrations/PH0005863/87 https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/20683478.stagecoach-cut-witney-banbury-bus-routes/ (contrary to the Oxford Mail, the S2X to Carterton is still operational, however? https://bustimes.org/services/s2x-oxford-carterton) This affects the following routes of ours, which all need merging or reworking into the new S2 and S2X services (and converting to PTv2 at the same time) Bus 853: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/190677 Defunct route number, but it is probably what the S2 does now, give or take Bus S2: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2165739 Currently on OSM as Oxford→Witney→Carterton, but it's now Oxford→Cheltenham direct https://bustimes.org/services/s2-curbridge-witney-oxford-2 Bus S2X: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2165739 Needs renaming from "S2 Express" but broadly OK once it's PTv2 https://bustimes.org/services/s2x-oxford-carterton
