I have compared some of the data in my locale against several I have mapped.

The NCR data does not indicate - I think - the number of chargepoints at a location - my Local Asda has 4 but only one entry in NCR. Others are missing and some recent ones (in the last year) included. One at my local Nissan dealer is not included.

_Could the data be included in _https://osm.mathmos.net/survey/_?_

Be great if it was._

It's the errors which are more of a problem, because it's generally better not to map something than to map it wrongly.

This is a difficult point. Data is never 100% complete, and frequently not 100% accurate. At what point it becomes better not to have the thing in OSM at all, is rather subjective.
If the location was only accurate to ±50m, would it still be good enough?
If the operator was not tagged, would it still be good enough?
Is an "imperfect" object in OSM more likely to get corrected than a missing object is to get added? Should I not add a missing object because I cannot be sure of the "operator" for example? Talking about the charging points data set, how can one detect what is an error? I would say, get the data out there, and let the world feed back any inaccuracies to the source for inclusion in the next version.
