[Talk-GB] NatWest / RBS Branch closures

[Andrew Hain]

Are there quality assurance tools that flag out of date names like Lloyds TSB?

There are still "Lloyds TSB" branches to mop up too over 4 years since their demerger (over 600 matches based on March 2017 GB OSM extract), Are we able to list all of these points of interest conveniently in a tool? Overpass Turbo query: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/tsq

Lloyds Banking Group will close some bank branches (listed at https://www.lloydsbank.com/contact-us/branch-closures.asp ) and Yorkshire Building Society will close more (listed at http://www.ybs.co.uk/changes/index.html ).

It's a fairly general problem. Recording the list & annotating the OSM features sounds a good idea.

RBS are planning another massive round of branch closures (a full list here<http://metro.co.uk/2017/12/01/list-of-natwest-and-rbs-branches-closing-across-the-uk-7123401/>).

I was wondering what the best approach might be to track these:

  *   Notes on all relevant branches. We've done this in the past for smaller chains (Netto, American Apparel) and the notes do get closed eventually when someone re-surveys an area. Easier to spot now through phone apps like Vespucci & OSMAnd
  *   Fixmes on the branches. As above, but a little less visible
  *   A wiki page listing branches & their equivalent OSM Id
  *   A umap instance

Any thoughts?
