<p>Yes, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/51210460">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/51210460</a> was one of
theirs that I commented on. There was no reply, but that's not
exactly a surprise as they haven't been around for a few years. I
know that the name there isn't signed, so removed it in

<p>Indeed - plenty of the junctions that I edited this morning have
local names, for example
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5408236527">https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5408236527</a> . For the avoidance
of doubt, none of the names used by Falsernet previously matched
any local names that I am aware of, as SK53 said:<br>

clarify which junction to someone I'd use something like Leicester
Forest or Aylestone for the former, and A46/Fosse Way for the

<p>"Fosse Park" is what I've heard that referred to as most
recently, though obviously that post-dates the redevelopment of
the junction here to serve Fosse Park and Leicester as well as the
M69.</p>
<p>There may be other junctions that need loc_names adding -
obviously people who know them should add those.</p>

However, Heath *Intersection* does appear in the official postal

<p>A quick web search (not compatible with OSM) suggests that that
might be for the ambulance station behind the gritting depot, just
off the motorway. OSM has the road that that is on as "Heath
Road", perhaps as an extrapolation of "Heath Road" that runs from
Holmewood to Heath. If I was going to try and make up a name for
a green-field ambulance depot here, "Heath Intersection" sounds a
reasonable one.</p>
<p>However, the previous changeset
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/111733622">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/111733622</a> had applied the
"Heath Interchange" to include all the roads that form part of the
roundabout above the junction - see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=111733622">https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=111733622</a> . There's
simply no evidence for those names there.</p>
