footpaths and turning/delivery space down the front of IDRM and Boundary Brook House need adding. They usefully link up Old Road and Roosevelt Drive for pedestrians and cyclists now that the shared track near the GHB site is heavily restricted.

Missing some footways between the buildings

Encountered a duplicated 55 here on the end of what I've redone as an odd-number 'addr:interpolation'. I've demoted it to 53, but the numbering might need checking.

[for info and to save me the bother of remembering it in future]:
Based on the Mogridge Drive numbering, these are street addresses ('addr:housenumber') that just happen to be physically inside an apartment block. That means the building name does not form part of the address: they can't each individually be "Russet House", that's a separate object. If they were 'addr:unit's, things would be different, but they aren't. 'addr:interpolation' cannot interpolate 'addr:unit' or 'addr:flats', just 'addr:housenumber' nodes on the end, *such* a pain. Blame the folks who came up with the Karlsruhe addressing schema for OSM, not me!

Is this café now "Kelpie"?

The dotted red line on the map which branches off north here and joins up with Church Hanborough is a public right of way marked on the OS map.

Courtney Pianos is definitely closing down, or has done. Capelli's and Currydor looked closed too.

(But today is between christmas and new year: best check all 3 properly in January to be certain of their status)

4 new houses now surveyable in the space of 302 & 304 (I think)

New development to map thoroughly: Priory Grove. Mixed flats, private houses, paths, balancing ponds etc. Plenty accessible already.

There is a new public artwork scattered around Oxford North now, in 8 parts: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPOp3rQj9ek/ "Your planetary assembly", 2025, by (Studio) Olafur Eliasson. Marker position approximate, of course.

"Eight glass polyhedrons spread across Fallaize Park [that] invite you to gather, talk, spend time, and share space with one another", says the Instagram post.

So presumably the site is now publicly accessible on foot from at least one of the two surrounding urban motorways that have bike tracks? Have to check.
