A few points: * I believe you should complete the relevant <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities> organised edit page on the wiki. * I think any use of admin_level=11 or indeed any use of admin_level at all for un-parished areas needed to be discussed up front. Places like Mansfield, Maidenhead etc simply do not exist as administrative entities. To represent them as such is erroneous. * In the case of the two Ashfields and Mablethorpe/Sutton-on-the-Sea there is a single unparished area so how can someone verify the boundary? * Saxilby ought to be a village * Sutton-on-the-Sea probably ought to be a village; not sure about Mablethorpe. * Banstead as a town is rather marginal. Unlike Epsom and Ewell which were towns before London grew, Banstead is more a London exurb. I'd guess village or suburb may be just as appropriate. * I'd have anticipated Dorking's W boundary to be pretty much follow the line of the former Urban District which wiggles about more than the one you mapped. * I don't think place=town should be duplicated on the node and the relation, one or the other (it makes for awkward processing for what should be very simple queries: how many towns in East Anglia?). I do realise that associating a town with a boundary is the objective, but I believe there should be a way which doesn't break "one feature one element".
