[Talk-GB] Routing and other problems west of Ashbourne (Staffordshire Moorlands)

Just a bit of a heads-up - if anyone's created a map that they intend to 
use for routing that covers this area:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.0286&lon=-1.849&zoom=13&layers=M
(the A52 and A523 west of Ashbourne)

any time between 18th June and about now you might want to re-extract 
it.  An editing session on 18th (which I suspect was an attempt to add 
names from OS OpenData, but wasn't entirely successful*) resulted in 
ways like this one:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/118232069/history

which didn't actually join to anything else.  I think that I've tidied 
the A52 and A523 so that OSM thinks that it's possible to drive along 
them, and so that roads and paths that join them now do again.  However, 
given the nature of the changes mid-June, if you've added anything to 
the map in that area you might want to check that it's still there, and 
if I've missed anything feel free to let me know (or fix it, obviously)

There are many similar problems (which I've not fixed) on minor roads 
around there and also in towns such as Leek.  I've done a bit of tidying 
in a few places that I've been (Cauldon, Stanton) and at least one other 
mapper has been fixing stuff near Cauldon too.

Cheers,
Andy

* "Swincote Hill" I don't think exists anywhere.  The OS thinks that 
"Swinscoe Hill" does, although there isn't a sign on the ground:
