Need to look in more detail to see how you get from the cycleway to the road here.

Can someone explain this symbol, looks like an "=" with a line through it. It isn't in the map key

Survey needed to determine how this footpath relates to the field boundaries - gates, stiles or just gaps in the hedge?

this needs a survey - the road continues and becomes part of the "track" (which is just the road), but the track needs working out

Needs survey way/259614896 (grassland) is within way/385502882 (wood)

What's the best way to map way/361573056 ? From memory (a long time ago) it's a raised stone platform with a stone railing.

way/344015663 here is named "North Campus foot path". Is it really named that, or is that just a description of what it is? If it's just a description, there's no need to make up a name for OpenStreetMap. See osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only for more details. Also - does it, and the other footpaths, join the road to the northeast?

Ely Shopmobility is probably spelt without a space. What's the best tag for it? It's adjacent to a museum, but surely isn't a museum in its own right.

I suspect that this footpath doesn't match reality (as mapped it suggests that there's no access to the road, whereas I suspect you could actually just step from the pavement onto the road). Needs survey.

More information needed here I think. The footpaths to the west don't align with the Bing imagery, suggesting that either the imagery is in the wrong place or the footpaths aren't quite correct. The path at the east appears to be traced from Bing imagery. Both can't be correct. Once this has been fixed, the fact that they don't join can be fixed too.
