Hi Andrew
I wouldn't use FHRS:ID as the be all & end all. It doesn't mean they've
closed down. On the ground verification is required. Depending on a
local authority's preferences, existing companies changing a name, or a
manager can trigger a new ID. Schools becoming academies in my area were
given new ones.
When a business closes down I fully delete the FHRS:ID. If a new one
opens in the same premises I add the available data for it. This doesn't
usually include FHRS, at first, as a premises has to be open for a while
to gain a worthwhile rating.
Comment on SK53:
It's been agreed by many that OSM is not a historical store, but a
record of what's currently there. Imagine how clogged the database would
become if all historical data was retained or even added, as some wish
to do. (I live in a Roman City, it would be a complete mess)
Cheers

Richmond has updated its FHRS records and two entries that previously
appeared in the list are now reported as unresolved in the GregRS
tool. Should I add notes that they are no longer in FHRS and should be
checked in the ground or is adding notes from public quality assurance
tools a bad idea?
