[Talk-GB] One-off separately mapped pavement, keep or delete?

[Andrew Hain]

I am considering whether or not to act on a note [https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/3176003] suggesting a one-off separately mapped pavement (that is traversable to the road) should be replaced with tags on the road. The road is in a suburb where most roads have pavements on both sides.
