What's the point of reporting anything to the Apple Maps team? I've reported stuff for a few years, and it hasn't changed nor have they had the basic courtesy to acknowledge the report.

It's not like it's some street address thing, they are missing a whole town.

I've gotten changes made by reporting stuff to the Apple Maps team. I remember years ago, my company's business location didn't show up correctly. I reported it, and within a week it showed up incorrectly in an entirely different way!

I’ve reported issues with POIs in the UK via the in-app features (“Edit Location” and “Report an issue”) and they were fixed within a few days.

In general, Google still has better POI data than Apple Maps in the UK, but the gap has closed a lot in recent years.
