Hi Oisin, I've taken a very quick look at this spreadsheet (oops, getting distracted from work).
1) Can you elaborate on the source(s) of suspected road names? 2) It would helpful if each of us could look at your list in a more localised aspect. Either including county would be more helpful, or at least having latitude and longitude in separate columns makes it easier to use in other tools usually. 3) There's some obvious reasons why some of those aren't in OSM just by looking at the first 5. 3a) One was on a caravan park, so it might not have an official name or even a sign (again I would like to question the source). 3b) A way was about 3 metres to connect one road to another, it's debatable whether it should be named itself but could be fixed without a survey. 3c) There are lots of abbreviated names in your spreadsheet, even "Clos" which I presume is a strange shortening of "Close". A Maproulette challenge might tempt people to copy the names from your spreadsheet (the legality and suitability of that is very unknown!). All the best from Chester-le-Street, Gregory.
