You appear to be drawing some sort of distinction between C and U 
numbers here, and maybe that works for your authority, but I don't think 
it's in any way universal.

As I understand it every authority has it's own numbering scheme for 
roads below B roads. Some just have one number space (C or U or 
whatever) and some have multiple levels like C, D and U.

Personally I have no problems with the numbers being in the data but I 
don't think they should be included in everyday renderings - they are 
something that belong on specialist renderings for specialist uses of 
the sort you mentioned.
