[Talk-GB] mapbox mapping activity [2nd iteration]

[Robert Skedgell]

Apologies for this being slightly OT, but as this has more chance of 
being noticed by Mapbox than an ignored report via their website.

Is their any chance that Mapbox could reciprocate any help from the 
community by expunging deleted objects from the Streets tilesets used by 
companies like Strava?

It's embarrassing when I'm trying to extol the benefits of OSM to local 
runners and cyclists when the ghost of a non-existent running track is 
still rendered. I deleted the last vestiges of the London 2012 warm-up 
track in July 2020, although it's ben under tens of thousands of tonnes 
of aggregates in Bow Goods Yard East for at least 8 years. The 
boundaries of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park are now also wildly inaccurate.

There must be many more similar objects which are out of date, but still 
rendered. Parks and running tracks matter to Strava users and persistent 
inaccuracies give users the impression that the fault lies with OSM 
contributors rather than Mapbox.
