I'm not sure of an exact age but the field boundaries shown on 1:25k 
maps are well over 11 years old. They are hideously out of date.

My local council is paying a surveying team to walk all the paths in 
their jurisdiction to create a definitive map which they will then pass 
on to the OS *at no charge*. The OS therefore *do* receive subsidisation 
from the taxpayer.
