PROWS data - Find a freedom of information request

You supplied a copy of your PROWS data in June 2021.

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/public_rights_of_way_gis_data_11

I used that data on my website. I guess there will have been changes to that data in the last 3 years.

I would be grateful if you would send me an up-to-date copy of your data. I would like this information to be provided to me as an electronic copy, preferably as an ESRI shapefile or MapInfo files and I would prefer these files to be bundled into a zip file.

If you provide the information in an ESRI shapefile or MapInfo files, I will be able to get the latitudes-longitudes from these files.

I have seen your online map at: https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/coast-countryside/public-rights-way/2 However, it's not possible to get the latitudes-longitudes from this map.

I would like you to release the files to me with an Open licence. Most of the 127 local authorities that have released their public rights of way data have chosen to release the data with the Open Government Licence 3.0:

Please find attached the map layer and its component files.

Please note: that Lincolnshire County Council's Definitive Map and Statement and any subsequent legal orders form the legal record of public rights of way.

The attached dataset was taken from the "working copy" map on 21.08.2024. It is for information only and is an interpretation of the Definitive Map and associated documents. It does not form part of the legal record itself. Therefore, the dataset should not be relied upon for determining the position, status, width or any other matters relating to any public rights of way shown in it. For legal purposes the dataset does not displace the legal record, and recipients should be aware that changes may have been made to the legal record that are not yet included in the dataset and it will not include any changes which might subsequently be made to the "working copy" map or the legal record. The County Council also cannot guarantee that the dataset is free from errors. By using the dataset, you are acknowledging and accepting the risks arising from any errors that might exist in the dataset. Attempting to view the dataset with detail greater than a scale of 1:10,000 may produce an inaccurate rendering of the route of a public right of way. The dataset is licenced on the terms outlined in the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This dataset is provided for use by your organisation. It should not be passed on to any individuals or organisations without prior agreement of Lincolnshire County Council.
