Description

**Background**
As part of on-going work to improve the quality of OpenStreetMap data, we recently used [osmlint-osmium](https://github.com/osmlab/osmlint-osmium) and [osmlint](https://github.com/osmlab/osmlint) for detecting issues related to road network data in UK. In total, we are going to review issues in 9 categories.

Our plan is to review all detected issues and fix it in OpenStreetMap. There's a [link](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapbox_-_Resolving_lintings_problems_in_the_UK) to the OSM Wiki page.

**Timeframe**
We are going to start review on the end of August - September 2021.

**Tools**
We will use existing OpenStreetMap editing tools, we will use #hashtag for the project #mbx_linters_UK

**Editor**: iD or JOSM

**Satellite Imagery**: Bing, Maxar, Esri

**Street Level Imagery**: Mapillary, OpenStreetCam, Other open sources if available

**Contact Person**
We welcome feedback, suggestions, and insights from local mappers. If you have questions about this work, or a specific edit by our team, please reach out to Natallia (natallia.zhouner@mapbox.com) or post a comment in a changeset.
