Hi Neil, I had spotted him and have sent him a message and a changeset
comment.http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/31024226

Actually looks like his edits are getting worse.

I'm on a flight in 4 hours, but should be back home tomorrow.

Cheers
Chris

 footpaths/cycleways that I added and replaced them with path.   Or
 sometimes they run in parallel with the original.

 Anyway, I tried contacting them politely and their reply was basically
 I know what I'm doing, I'm making it better.  Their changeset comments
 are either add icon or updating wrong information on map i live here
 i know the layout of most of what is here.

 Could someone undo their bad work by removing their changesets?  Or how
 is the best way to proceed?  I get the feeling if I try and correct
 their errors they will just put it back the way they want.

You may act to revert the changesets in question within good reason: in this 
case, you will want to argue that it is the duplication of ways and the 
fracturing of the network in general (is that the right term?).
