Your tag says you are near Scarborough, if you are in the Scarborough area, try contacting Alan Thomlinson on 01723374079, he is the the Main man for SBC rights of way. He is out doing stuff a lot of the time, ring more than once and he will get a message. I would also contact NYCC, I can't remember the name of the Rights of way person there, but he wants more rights of way, not less. If you are happy to let me know what area you are talking about, send me a PM, I am always intersted in maintaining rights of way and have time to look at old records of past useage of land. I will find the name of the NYCC rights of way person and post it to you if I can.
