[Talk-GB] associatedStreet relations in the UK

[Ed Loach]

I used to use them, but am gradually removing them to use address
tags instead as they are easier for new mappers to understand. I’m
doing street by street as I realign the buildings to imagery layers
adjusted to line up with the UK Cadastral layer, though haven’t done
any recently – I’m about half way through Holland-on-Sea
alphabetically iirc.

Hi All,

 

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses_in_the_United_Kingdom
is silent on the use of associatedStreet relations
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:associatedStreet ).
I haven't seen much use of them anywhere in the UK, but there are
some here and there.

 

Does anyone have strong views about whether existing uses of
associatedStreet should be maintained?

 

I'm asking because a new user has appeared in my neck of the woods
and removed all buildings from eight different associatedStreet
relations - with his/her first eight changesets!   I'm not sure I
have the energy to follow-up more than I've done already. 

 

(First changeset: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/120857294
)
