The basic problem you have is that there are a lot more people
interested in first time mapping of high streets than there are those
interested in maintaining them. In my view, high street churn is so
high that if you don't re-survey at least every two to three months
there will be a lot more wrong than just the name of one bank.
That sounds about right to me - there's probably something that changes
in that sort of timescale.
I'd suggest that the median time to repair for a high street feature
is similar to the average time to first mapping, i.e. somewhat over
five years. That is especially true if the repair doesn't happen
within the first couple of months, i.e. no-one has taken on
maintenance responsibility.
This might be useful for measuring that:

(if you don't mind the adverts, that is). Not sure where I saw it -
probably on a mailing list somewhere, so apologies if it's old news.
Cheers,
Andy
