Barry, Local government regions in England can be very confusing. For public rights of way the responsibility of legally collating these on the Definitive Map and Statement lies with those regions that are “surveying authorities”. This is the same as the 152 (151 if you exclude the “City of London”) Local Authorities listed in the Principal Authorities table:
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_in_England*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_in_England> As shown, “Bedfordshire” is no longer a surveying authority and this is why you get PRoW data from both “Bedford” and “Central Bedfordshire”. If this is understood then we shouldn’t need to tag the local authority as it can be determined from the geography. Similarly Torbay is its own surveying authority and hence it is excluded from Devon’s data. Hope this helps, Rob p.s. the 32 London borough, plus CoL do not have to collate PRoW data.
