WHICH right of way are we talking about ("Police back path closure", October 28)?

Is it the path running from Clifton A19 (by the side of Clifton Methodist Chapel) through the school archway then through the actual school grounds to the swimming pool, as detailed in documents held at the council offices?

Or is it the path that runs from Westminster Road to Queen Anne's Road and eventually on to the Museum Gardens? The latter path has been used by the general public for the past few hundred years and is an important right of way of long-standing customary use and to attempt to close it would be an outrageous travesty.
