While I’ve been updating open street map I’ve also taken the time to report right off way violations via my councils web portal. The problem is most of the paths around here are permissive national park paths and there is no canonical catalog available digitally to cross check against. I don’t know if they should also be registered as a right of way?
If in doubt, I’d say register them. It’ll be investigated then and them added to the digital register they’re creating if it is supposed to be a public path, and if not, at least someone notified them to look into it. If nobody tells them then it’s at risk of losing public access.

There’s a public access right of right by a property owned by one of the Trump’s around me. I’ve made extra sure to register it just to irritate them.
Next time I walk past it I must remember to take a picture, because it is quite spectacularly tasteless.
