This came up on facebook. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33523320
It's about how our paths are slowly decaying, and links to this https://bigpathwatch.ramblers.org.uk/
Now I don't much care for the Ramblers association normally but this seems a really good idea to me. I know of a few paths marked on maps that I would be a regular user of - if they actually existed on the ground! In fact, maps until fairly recently marked a footpath running down our driveway past the house and into the field below. Since 1957 only one person has ever used it (who wasn't my Gran going to see the neighbours), and it's no longer on the map.
I'm sure many of use here have come across footpaths in desperate need of some upkeep? Would be interesting to hear from anyone who perhaps objects to footpaths on their land etc? I'm sure some must be a nightmare for farmers..
