Have there been any similar edits over the border in

On the Leic / Lincs border, yes. A track I walked down and
identified as a bridleway back in 2010 (I still have the Garmin
file with the waypoint in it) has recently had the designation
removed, and tracks nearby have been merged together so that the
surface tag now reads something like "X;Y;Z".

The "modification order" was apparently for a Notts one (and in
this case may perhaps be valid); my question for that particular
change was whether it would be licence-compatible. However, many
of the changes elsewhere don't match previous on-the-ground
surveys.

Edits have been made across England - I'd urge everyone with an
interest in such matters to check for local changes along the
lines that I've described by previously unseen mappers.
