Hi Jake
In the iD editor the 4th button down gives you a selection of imagery layers which can be used. Maxar looks good here, but you do need to look through them to see which works best.
The map is always going to be a representation of reallity, the path from Haughton Road looks like it goes straight into the pavement at the end of Almond Avenue. The pavement (sidewalk in OSM) is effectively a property of Almond Avenue. If you were to map it separately you then get into the problem of connectivity for routers. For example you want a router to send a pedestrian along the path, not around the road.
Have a go at improving things, the best mapping is always going to be from someone on the ground. You are welcome to ask if you have any questions.

Cheers Phil

I can see what has happened. The estate was drawn roughly before imagery was available and is a bit out of alignment. That road was added later in the correct place, but is Almond Avenue which is obviously a duplication.

I will align it all properly.

Thanks Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. I think this edit has gone a little wrong.

What evidence do you have that suggests that it does not exist as whilst the area is shown as farmland on bing imagery, this is old. More recent imagery shows it clearly?

Thank you for clarifying but please be careful how you describe things in your comments.

Hi, just wondering why you removed this driveway? It is very visible on imagery.

Hi again. You have not clarified what you mean by Street View. How do I see the grill?

Hi, I think this edit has gone a little wrong.

It seems a bit unlikely that the driveway and footpath are separate ways. Imagery confirms this. When adding the driveway the footpath should be split and share the way with the driveway. The driveway obviously needs foot=yes tags to ensure that walkers are able to use it.
Crossings are only mapped where there is at least a lowered kerb, this is not something found on a driveway.

Hi Joe
Thank you for your edit. Based on your comment I was able to find some new roads in OS Opendata, I have added them and estimated the residentail area.
Please could you check it?

Cheers Phil

Street View? Please clarify.

I did ask the question of a more knowledgeable railway mapper than me and he did say that there is really no main/branch concept in the UK.

Based on the other lines I would tend to go with main if only so it doesn't look less important than the cambrian or the shrewsbury to crewe line. But that is getting into tagging for the renderer which is discouraged in OSM.

Hi Peter
Thank you for your reply, its an odd one but do bear in mind that the wiki can usually be taken with a large pinch of NaCl. The wiki also mentions electrification which from a UK perspective is incorrect. It reminds me of a state of the map talk where a German mapper stated that diesel trains only travel at something like 100km per hour. He was totally unaware that Voyagers travel along the West Coast line at 200kph.

I was basing usage on the usage of the other lines in the area. For example the Cambrian and the Marches lines are classified as main.

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edits however as a local I do not see this as a branch line.

I can see that usage was missing, I am not a railway expert but Is there any evidence you have used to come to this reasoning?

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for your edits however the names of the roads you have changed were correct. There is no space before way in either of them. In fact The Burway already has a not:name=Bur Way tag.
Also oneway=no should only be used where oneway is common, such as the odd two way road in a city centre. Rural unclassified roads are expected to be two way.

Hi Rob, thank you for your edit. The names are a very useful addition to OSM.

Just one thing, a fence blocking access between Curlew Meadows and The Wheatlands is a bit unlikely. Whilst I would expect motor vehicles to be blocked, blocking pedestrian access between the two is a little unlikely. Can you describe the feature, a fence with a gap perhaps?

Also is the former field now a recreation ground?

Thanks Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM.

Are you sure that this a bridleway? It has previously been mapped with designation=public_footpath and the council rights of way data confirms this.
Just wondering why you changed it?

Cheers Phil

No response, an unlikely location and maps,me so reverted.

Hi, welcome to OSM. This edit has gone a little bit wrong. You have changed a building into landuse when I assume you were trying to change the building type.
I have fixed the tagging.

Hi, welcome to OSM and thank you for your edits.
In OSM a placename of a village belongs on the boundary relation and place node. In the case of New Inn it is osm.org/relation/11017133
Adding the name to the residentail area is simply a duplication and in this case the residential area simply has no name.
Obviously residential areas within a place may sometimes have a name.
