Dataset containing the public rights of way of Medway

The council of Medway have provided me with a zip file that has MapInfo files that has the details of their public rights of way. The MapInfo files seem to have been created on 1st December 2021. When I requested an update both in December 2022 and in February 2024 I was informed that "the information that we would provide to you has not changed since we last provided it".

An authority's Definitive Map is the authoritative source of their rights of way. The details of the public rights of way network contained in an authority's data are for information only, and are an interpretation of the Definitive Map, not the Definitive Map itself, and should not be relied on for determining the position or alignment of any public right of way. For legal purposes, an authority's data does not replace their Definitive Map. And changes may have been made to the Definitive Map that are not included in their data. The authority's data contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right 2024. Attempting to view this data with more detail than 1:10000 may produce an inaccurate rendering of the route of a public right of way.

The council of Medway have informed me that the MapInfo files are made available under Open Government Licence v3.0. So it's possible for you to use this data provided you give the attribution that the data has been provided by the council of Medway.

Please e-mail me if you see a web page where the authority of Medway allows you to download the MapInfo files.

This web site also provides data about the rights of way of Medway in KML format, in GPX format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
