reporting base map error needing correction

I've spotted an error in LB Bexley, Greater London, UK. A section of Bedonwell Road has been deleted, between its' junction with Little Heath Road, and its' junction with Long Lane. see http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.47088&lon=0.14419&zoom=17&layers=M I first noticed this while using CycleMap, The error also occurs in Mapnik. On the other hand, HikeBikeMap is OK. I'm a complete novice, and have no idea how to make the correction. In particular I lack any understanding of how the error was introduced in the first place and how to propagate a correction across all derivative maps.
