Scanning St Helens town centre this morning it seemed that a lot of ways
making up the pedestrianised centre of town were missing. I thought this
might be a "rendering engines not caught up with recent edits"
phenomenon, but checking with JOSM just now I see that there are indeed
no ways around an area centred roughly on (53.45, -2.74). A lot of
individual nodes are there (pubs, bus-stops etc) are there but the ways
have gone.
Although I visit St Helens every few weeks or months this is not really
my backyard, but I am pretty sure that these ways were pretty well
mapped last time I looked.
Cannot tell if this is somebody's mistake or vandalism, but can
something be done to put back what has been taken away? Given that there
is nothing there at all I cannot tell from JOSM history whether there
was a particular chageset that caused the problem.
Some of the surrounding ways that are present have a recent changeset
made by "OSMF Redaction Account" - is that removal of ways that do not
conform to the new licence by any chance?
