Subject: Why claim BOAT

Hi

Speaking to Paul Wells of the Dorset LR+RR club.  He proposed that instead of
claiming byways that if the way was on a 1929 handover map just ask the
Authority to add to current list of streets.

Thoughts anybody?

If a route is on the 1929 hand-over map * then it should already be on the
list of streets. Ask the authority why it is not, ans say that if they cannot
come up with a good reason it must be a mistake, so will they kindly correct
the mistake by adding it.

* for beginners - the 1929 process was handing over responsibility for
maintenance of minor highways from the urban and rural district councils to
the county council. Originally the county only had to do the bridges
(expensive), then the main roads, and only in 1929 did they finally have to
do all highways (except for those which are maintained by someone else, eg
the landowner or tenant, or by no-body at all).

The List of Streets must be made available on demand, free, at county
offices. The hand-over maps are sometimes in county hall, still, sometimes in
use still but they do not realise (eg Cambs), sometimes in the county record
office, sometimes no-body knows where they are. They can be very revealing,
as routes seem to have, er, gone missing, in some counties. How careless, and
how fortunate they are that vigilant members of the taxpaying public are
around to keep the bastards on their toes. And preferably off our backs.

Tony Banks minister for Sport, eh? Interesting...

Cheers, tim
