Just a note that I resurveyed EUL 22 changeset/164866807 and found somewhat mixed results on the ground. There are GW stickers on the temporary fencing showing part of the route but not other parts. It still runs across the small paddock between Winneycroft Lane and the new road, Sniggs Field Avenue.

Hi Andy, Yes, the Glevum Way across Winneycroft Farm is currently unclear. The order that suspended the footpaths created temporary rights of way around the edges of one of the fields but the Glevum Way itself hasn't yet been rerouted.

I will be re-surveying the footpath between Painswick Road and Winneycroft Farm (EUL 22) soon.

I will also be re-surveying Sniggs Field Avenue once there's more progress there. When we surveyed it recently there was evidence on the ground (but inaccessible) that there's going to be a set of public paths crossing the estate roughly lining up with the old EUL 21 footpath, which is good. But it does appear that EUL 22 may be permanently re-routed south to join EUL 24, EUL 23 is currently suspended and may not be reestablished at all as there are now houses on the line and doesn't appear to be any space reserved for the path. So yes, as you say the gap is awaiting more progress on the housing estate and hopefully some GW waymarkers. Thanks!

Sorry for the slow reply, if you have a look at the history I did not add the designation to these. The sections of road that I "created" such as way/133296948 were already there, I just added the bridges and had to create the new ways as part of adding the bridges. An unfortunate side effect.

@bigalxyz123 seems to be the user who originally created this data

People like you discourage contributors. When I started mapping in this area for OSM there were hardly any roads shown, let alone landuse. I get some sort of nitpicking message like yours once every few months, remember that without early contributors, who may not have got everything quite right, there wouldn't be a map at all.

The commit you have commented on is 5 years old. I usually look up the tag if unsure so I imagine the Wiki probably listed that at the time.

Well, as a pedestrian I like to know if there's a path to walk on. There's not always. The specific tag - highway:footway or highway:path is something I always wonder about, I used to prefer highway:path as footway was reserved for public footpaths in the early days of OSM.

It is a waypoint, a marker on a footpath. I marked the node with this tag because sometimes on rural English footpaths it can be very difficult to find the path. I hoped it might be useful to a future user or editor. I don't know of a more appropriate tag, feel free to retag if you so wish.

Hmm. The lack of source info was sloppy of me. Local knowledge and NPE.

The note is correct - the Ferry doesn't run today. If you look at the way in question it was (and is) tagged with "abandoned", which I think was the suggested tagging for "gone" historic features at the time (the Ferry line is from a much older edit, I'm not even sure it was me who originally added it). OSM has always had some historic ways in it, such as the many old railways. This is another example of this. Unfortunately the Mapnik layer is rendering it.

The changeset you've commented on was just a clean up of the riverbank and the church (Saint Peter in Newnham).
