Information and Ideas practice question
The case against the new footpath is that it will bring walkers past the farm's back door. The case for it is that walkers are already there: the old path, a mile round, is ignored, and the field is crossed daily by people the farmer would rather not meet. A path that follows where people actually walk will not create the problem. It will make the existing problem polite.
