How might we enable people to submit active public footpaths to the council? #14

The background of this issue is that in 2015, a law was passed which requires any rights of way that are in regular use but not recorded on official maps to be registered with the local council within a 10 year period. Any rights of way that are not registered by the time limit will be lost.
