[Talk-GB] The "heath mapper in Wales" is back

Hi all

I'm not sure it's the same mapper as before but the end result is the same with massive areas mis-mapped and tagged, inaccurately even by the mapper's own admissions with all the FIXME tags. Can't these changesets just be reverted as the data is junk?

Best regards, 
Andy.

That will both help this mapper better understand how they're doing and other mappers understand what needs fixing.

Given that they have replied at least once I don't think the problem is not seeing the messages - I suspect they're just ignoring them and either just don't want to respond or have problems responding.
