Hi Harry Thank you for your fast and useful reply. I am definitely not an experienced OMer, far from it, up to now I've only done simple corrections and additions. It's probably best if I stay clear and leave it to experts. So, I add a few notes on the OSM map adjacent to the problem to alert people who know what they are doing, then stand back for a few weeks to see if anything is done. Regards Paul W.
