Improving the Map
Housenumbers
Map of Housenumbers in Ipswich
NOTE: This map does not diffrentiate between buildings that only have addr:street tags and buildings/nodes that have both addr:street and addr:housenumber tags, making it misleading. A github issue has been opened on this, with no response so far.
The brown indicates buildings with address tags. Black indicates nodes with address tags. Pink indicates housenumbers that do not have an addr:street=* tag. You should add street tags to those housenumbers. (NOTE: many of the housenumbers without addr:street tags use an old way of linking streets with houses known as the Associatedstreet relation).
Like most of England, address data is mostly missing.
Local shops in many areas are also probably missing.
How to map housenumbers
The most efficient way is to use Keypad Mapper 3. It is an app with a keypad, which lets you enter house-numbers as you walk around some streets. This will create address nodes, which you can open up in JOSM. You then move these address nodes over their respective houses, and add this data to OSM. If you like, you can also draw buildings, and merge the address nodes with buildings (Ctrl+Shift+J). However, drawing buildings is extremely time consuming, even with the BuildingTools plugin.
There are a few disadvantages to this approach. It requires knowledge of JOSM, which is an advanced editor. KeyPad Mapper 3 is an old piece of software that has not been updated in years, and there are chances the software could stop working. As well as this, Keypad Mapper is only available on Android.
Another approach is to draw the buildings first, and add the street tags to them. This way, Streetcomplete will ask for the house-numbers of the buildings while you are surveying.
Here is a tutorial on drawing buildings quickly so that they can be mapped in Streetcomplete
To know whether a building contains multiple houses, look for fences in the backyard. A fence indicates where the house ends and the next house starts. Make sure you mark the buildings as building=house (or any building tag that is not building=yes) otherwise the housenumber tasks will not show up on Streetcomplete. It is also a good idea to add the street that the building is. If you are unsure, you can leave a note. If you are unsure, leave it empty, you can find out while surveying.
Once you have drawn buildings, in streetcomplete, you can zoom into the area where you drew buildings, and "scan for quests here" (can be found by clicking on the button with three bars in the top right). A ton of quests asking for the house-numbers of the houses you drew will show up. You can go surveying by walking through those streets and marking the housenumbers in StreetComplete.
If you didn't mark the street of a building, and you realise which street it is on after walking past it, resolve the OSM note you made earlier recording the housenumber and street of a house.
Shops
Local shops are probably missing too. To map local shops, you can make a note on an app such as Streetcomplete or osmand outlining the information of the shop.
Conversly, you can take a geo-located photo of the shop. Keypadmapper and OSMand let you do this. Streetcomplete lets you include photos in OSM notes you make.
If you are using streetcomplete, you can simply name the shop, and include a photo that shows additional details.
The problem with taking photos is that it make look intrusive to people who are passing by, or to people within the shop.
You can try using audio notes (which is available when using Keypad mapper or OSMand), however the noise of cars on major streets may make this unusable.
Another option is to only record the name of the shop, and then go home and search for the shop. This should lead you to their website, (or a page on another website such as tripadvisor), where you can get more information (such as phone numbers). There may be copyright issues with this, however.
Surveying
Surveying for these two things (addresses & shops) is a good way to improve the map. Addresses can be surveyed using a software like Keypad mapper 3, or using field papers. Shops can be surveyed by taking geo-located photos/audio.
NOTE: These issues (addressses & local shops) is basically a problem everywhere in the UK, including most parts of London. The easiest way to fix the addressing issue is to persuade the government to release address data freely. Shops will have to be mapped manually, however.
Wards
The ward boundaries are approximate because the only reliable source is the Ordnance Survey and we are not allowed to use that source. There is pressure on the government to allow the official data to be used but in the mean time this will have to do. The boundaries have been determined by conversation with councillors and others with a knowledge of the area.

Public Transport Version 1 (outdated)
This table is outdated, all the bus routes should be updated to public transport v2 anyway. Many of these relations don't exist anymore, or have been changed.
Once a bus route has been mapped both ways in version 2, remove it from this table.

These don't really have any tags. Inquire on how they should be tagged properly.
Is there any purpose of these being mapped? (Inquire). Instead, parking on street could be marked as amenity=parking and access=private.
