I've long suspected that local councils and other government bodies are
giving data directly to Google. I've seen developments turn up on Google
maps that couldn't possibly have been established with a survey. It's
all really shady.
There's no reason why they shouldn't. Street names are not a secret. The
same information would be available to anyone who asks. In some cases,
it isn't even necessary to ask, as it's published on the council website.
But at least we can say, even in this case, that OSM
is the more accurate reflection of reality.
No, it isn't. The development has been built and the roads are actually
there, as can be seen from the photos in the media reports. Someone
needs to get down there and do a trace!
