Is the current system working?
Not really. It’s struggling to deal with many historical inaccuracies including:Paths deleted in 1965
Uncertainty
: Unclassified County
Roads
Confusion
over privately
repaired
roads
Objections
public bodies owned the landPaths ending at Parish boundaries
And, last but not least: areas for which no proper legal record was made in the old Borough of Bradford and part of Keighley.Slide4
Example:Additions and
deletions from 1965, following the draft map consultation Keighley Municipal Borough

How could it work in Bradford?Slide9
Step 1.
