I've had a problem in the past when I was renaming Frodsham. I also have problems renaming Llay, Llangollen and Prenton. Basically, I try to rename any of these places, it appears to save correctly but then when I reselect the segment I thought I'd changed, the old place name is still there.

The only way I've found to change it is to inform support and get them to change it.

I have started to rename cities in my areas and have been using the WME Ext tools to do this. I hadn't had an issue so far until I noticed that when I try and change "Altrincham (Cheshire)" to just plain "Altrincham" for some reason it changes it after saving to "Hale (Cheshire)". I hadn't noticed it do this until I had done the entire town! I don't think it has anything to do with the tools as the same happens when using WME and doing a single road.

I tried editing the city name of Lee Ave in WME and the Beta - can't get it to change.

Odd.

I have added both Dorking and Guildford to the list for renaming.

Can I also suggest adding Woking, Reigate and Redhill to the list too? They're all probably big enough to warrant the change.

I'm a bit disappointed though. I spent bloody ages adding the county suffix to big chunks of Surrey.

Just so I'm completely clear: Going forward is it now UK policy to only use the county suffix where there is a duplicate name elsewhere in the country? Or is there a size criterion we're applying?

This one.

I think there's a bit of size criterion as well. Where there are duplicates, the largest does not need the country suffix.

For example, the town of Preston in Lancashire should not have a suffix, but the various villages of Preston scattered around the country would need suffices.

(That is, villages which are simply "Preston" need a suffix, Preston Candover for example is unique and does not need one).

Can we add Bingley (W Yorks) to the list for renaming please.

Done. Also done Cottingley, no extra charge.

What advice re the following: Harleston (Norfolk) - should this be renamed to just Harleston? On checking there are:

Harleston SX7945 Devon Devon S Hams

Harleston TM0160 Suffolk Sufflk M Sufflk

Harleston TM2483 Norfolk Norflk S Norflk

How do you tell which is the biggest?

Would be nice to tidy up as on the map we have Harleston, Harleston (Norfolk) and Harleston (Nofolk) - thoughts?

PS: As an aside is there a quick way to identify which roads have the wrong entries (eg Harleston (Nofolk) - without the 'r', without having to click on each road?
