Thanks both - as it currently stands the whole town green is outlined by "boundary=protected_area & protect_class=21 & protection_title=common" (as town_green wasn’t an option, though, I actually added protection_title2=town_green).

In the past the term urban commons was widely used in the ecological literature for all sorts of (mainly) grassy spaces in towns. If one wanted a catch-all designation this might be suitable, although I think it would be perhaps better used to replace the usages of landuse=grass & leisure=common

I've spotted some edits using this, such as: https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=82807938=true After a ropey start, in general I've been quite impressed by Amazon's edits, but this one looks quite ropey, the service road drawn in is very ropey and it looks like you've missed the connection
