<div dir="ltr"><div>I did wonder whether someone would ask something like that! <br><br>On "name=", I would avoid this because people do not refer to e.g. "Abbots Bickington Footpath 1" in general conversation (although perhaps that’s because we never knew the names until the Local Authorities started to release the data).<br>
<br>In regards to "prow_name" and "prow_ref" my concern is that each Local Authority uses differing conventions. In the example of Devon they have provided a reference in both parish ID and parish Name format. Not all do this. For those that just release e.g. "Acle FP1" then would this be a prow_name or a prow_ref...? Due to this confusion, I suggest sticking with the "dominant" reference (used on the Local Authoritiy's map) as suggested by Barry, but lets see what the others think.<br>
