Hi,
you've used Google as a source. Copyright and Google's terms don't let us take their data or use their products. (osm.org/copyright) Did you use Google as a source for any other changes?

Thank you for drawing this to my attention.
My source here is Google Street View, not Google Maps. As I understand it (at least in UK copyright law) I cannot take material belonging to Google and reuse it without their permission, but it's not a breach of copyright to view a publicly available image and draw my own conclusions from it. In this case I *may* have referred to a Google Street View image to remind myself of information that's available to anyone who walks down the street. To be honest I can't recall what it was that I looked at specifically, but whatever it was probably saved me the trouble of walking half a mile down the road to look for the information myself. I'm certain that anything I gleaned was in no way the intellectual property of Google.
Apologies if my interpretation of the situation is incorrect. If it is I could either remove the changes entirely or reconfirm them on foot and remove the reference to Google.
All the best,
Simon Marshall

Google Street View is covered by the Google Maps terms, and for this as well as other reasons they can't be used. I've gone ahead and "redacted" the data, which stops it from being viewable.
