A hot topic at the best of times but progressively getting more so as various groups lobby Local Authorities and we move towards the 2026 deadline for recording rights of way on the definitive map.{DEFRA new plans to simplify recording rights of way}
There is an interesting article on this topic by Dave Waterman from the Rights of Way Reform Project in the Green Lane Association's July 2018 bulletin, for those readers who are GLASS members.

ORPA - Other route with public access
