Speed limits wrong, cameras missing
Now councils have brought in a variety of new hazards (LTNs), ranging from simply blocking roads with wooden boxes of soil, through to declaring that only residents can drive along certain roads and installing cameras to fine everyone else. TFL is also doing its best to stamp out driving by closing roads and making turns illegal.
Does TomTom plan to take account of this and update their maps? To what extent are they aware of/interested in changes in the various areas they cover?

You can try to report speed limits and cameras on mapshare reporter:

Nowadays it is worth to report. In my experience, they have add almost all speed limit I reported. But took around 6 month after they were delivered by a map update.
On Mapshare Reporter you can also see if they are already have changed the speed anyway. The Mpshare maps are at least 1-2 map updates ahaed of pnds in my experience.0 -

Sounds like it's a community effort. Now that they want me to start paying a subscription, I was hoping that TomTom had some organised way of keeping their system up to date, like Google Streetmap regularly walking the streets.
I'm going to try Waze.
Somebody from the staff might could ask if maps department is aware of those changes since I have read this complaints about London changes some where as well.
