I'm pretty sure we've had this conversion before, where I pointed out OSM is
not a historical record. If gone in the real world,it should be removed from
OSM. If you wish to store out date info, transfer it to Open History Map.
Yes I thought so too. I tried to search the talk-gb archive for it but
I couldn't find the thread. Shame it isn't easier to find things in
our previous threads.

Seeing OSM is a global endeavour it's disappointing you keep repeat 'Around
here...' as if Nottingham is somehow different & special when compare with
elsewhere.
Don't worry too much about that, I'm sure it's just about awareness,
not exceptionalism!
From his previous posts, regrettably I don't believe that to be true.
And he's not alone. See Cambridge University where a mapper has
knowingly misinterpreted well defined tags to suit his custom rendering,
(every uni building is tagged amenity=university & recreation grounds
are tagged as pitches).
