I think the update process is broken because of this issue making the coastlines invalid (and perhaps a different issue before this one).

It does show it. Firstly because the way direction is wrong (I haven't reversed it, but couldn't even find how to in iD) and secondly because two coastlines are overlapping. I would say either remove the natural=coastline tag (effectively reverting to v1 of the way), or make the coastline go around the outside of the new area rather than having two overlapping ways at the join.

Hi Bernard. Looks like you forgot to delete osm.org/way/1043475948 - doing so now. Ed

Do they really count as a city until the formal receipt of the Letters Patent later this year?

Thanks for the reply. Local knowledge is what makes OpenStreetMap so good. And if anyone else wonders about the restriction with no sign hopefully they'll find this discussion too. Best wishes, Ed

PS: Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and if hgv=no is correct you might also like to add a maxweight tag if there are signs to indicate a limit

Are you sure school lane should be tagged hgv=no? The LHP still show that a scheme to deter HGVs from using the lane is awaiting funding. https://www.essexhighways.org/highway-schemes-and-developments/local-highway-panels/lhp-scheme-lists/tendring-lhp-schemes-list

Which of these current projects suggests adding transliterations of names? https://github.com/Microsoft/Open-Maps
Only the two wiki tags add anything to the node.

Perhaps :)

I'll have to find an excuse to take the train to the railway station, perhaps to walk to the village pub at Parkeston, as the security barriers doing that in reverse always look discouraging. It is 25 years since I last sailed from there (to Esbjerg when that route still ran).

Oh, and this building is yet another amenity=ferry_terminal osm.org/way/66437417 though it doesn't seem to mind about that.

There is another ferry terminal tagged on a node at the station: osm.org/node/5406166131 which seems to be what JOSM doesn't like, being inside the area relation

I'm not sure you need this ferry terminal node when the area is already mapped. osm.org/relation/7402504

The network tag really isn't appropriate for the disjointed set of bus services we have locally. operator is much more suitable.

I found this, so will add a name for it. https://www.st-clares.essex.sch.uk/st-clares-nursery/

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap. As a temporary measure I've converted the point feature you added into a building based on the Maxar imagery background (which is not as sharp as say Bing imagery, but is a little more up to date). I believe this is the new nursery school, but do you know whether it is part of St Clare's or whether it has its own name? Any questions about anything let me know and I'll see if I can help. Best wishes, Ed

Hi, I noticed you added the Swiss Farm farm shop in this changeset some time ago. Sticklegs is brewing again and Facebook suggests also based at this farm https://www.facebook.com/people/Sticklegs-Brewery/100029115386115/ and I wondered if you knew where by any chance? Thanks. Ed

Interestingly (at least to me) the legislation has just caught up with the signage. The 8 tonne 1993 restriction officially became 7.5 tonnes on 15 November 2021!

But you left the state as Florida? I'll remove it... (PS - this is meant to be a jokey comment - thanks for fixing the postcode)
