<br>Hi Rob,<br><br>Thanks for the question - It's a good example of how the wiki can be confusing so I encourage everyone to write in with suggested improvements. <br> <br>You've had some good answers so I won't repeat them, instead I'll add a couple of details:<br>
<br>* Please only tag as a public right of way if there is evidence (if none then you can just leave it as highway=*, where * is an appropriate tag).<br>* Public rights of way are recorded by the local council on the "Definitive map and statement". I am pulling all the details together and will contact all England councils asking for access to the definitive statements (and requesting its release under the OGL license). This will be the topic of a later email and will be summarised on the wiki.<br>
* Any path not recorded on the councils definitive map and statement by 2026 will no longer be a public right of way - Once we have these statements I encourage you to write to the council about missing footpaths (details to follow). For now you can make use of note=, fixme= and perhaps suspected=row as suggested by Nick.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>RobJN<br><br>p.s. I will incorporate your suggestions into the wiki page next week so that it is easier to understand.
