This close used to provide parking for Twells Close. There is now zero access to anything else (the street has zero purpose).

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
You have added the name '(no-name close)', please note that the name tag should only be used for proper names. If something has no name, then the correct thing to do is to not use the name tag at all. You can use the 'note' or 'description' tags if further explanation is needed.
Second, you have changed highway=service to highway=road. Highway=road is used when the highway type is unknown. In this case, the road has been surveyed and it is an alleyway and for alleyways highway=service is in fact the correct tag, even if the road serves no real purpose.

Thanks for the info on the 'name' tag.
The 'highway' tag is accurate as 'road', 'service road' or whatever (I think that the term 'close' should be added as a value to the 'highway' tag, simply because it would quickly become the predominant value chosen for English residential roads). I live close to that close & surveyed it shortly before making the change. It is NOT an alleyway.
The Close with No Name is NOT an alleyway. The modern 'Twells Close' is an 'alleyway' (pedestrian access - it has zero vehicular access). 30 years ago, the Close with No Name was a service road for (part of the modern) Twells Close and was named as such. Today it has no name & provides zero access to anything. It nevertheless is a tarmacked road with twin sidewalks. Even if the only walking that can be done is to walk in & then back out again.
There used to be houses accessed from
the Close with No Name on the West side of the street (the modern Twells Close is on the East side). All that remains of those houses on the West side is empty plots. A sturdy chain-link fence prevents egress from the Close.
