Why is this area mapped as a turning circle?

Once the fences have come down, the area could do with a resurvey.
The Old Mining Building has been renamed as the Bragg building, which will be home to Physics (and Computing I think). A large new building has been built behind the Old Mining building, with a covered bridge into Chemistry West. Some of the mature trees were chopped down and have been replaced by saplings. Also I think the paths/service roads have been reconfigured slightly. The steps into St George's field next to Chemistry West have been removed and replaced with a ramp.

If there still a permissive path here to the canal towpath (upper lock bridge), the previously mapped path, steps and bridge can be recovered by reverting the deleting changeset: 138512146

Planning on removing these separately mapped pavements and making tags on the appropriate roads instead, as is more often done round these parts. But leaving a note in case of any strong objections before I do the deed.

This way (1165023542), the upper half of which is scree, is barely a path at all. It's mainly used as the route off Scafell for people attempting the Bob Graham Round and consists of loose scree which can be fun to run down if you like that type of thing. While supporting an attempt recently, we came across a family and dog halfway down this scree run not particularly enjoying themselves. They said they were surprised that their map said this to be a path (AllTrails). Without judging them for blindly following an app despite their better judgement, I would be very much in favour of removing this way as a path from the map. I'm leaving this note beforehand as this is a destructive action.
If I were to not delete this path, are there appropriate tags (surface=scree is non-standard, right?) that can be appropriately interpreted by third party "navigation" software to dissuade unwary walkers from subjecting themselves to this kind of thing? Anyone wanting to go down this "path" on purpose doesn't need the benefit of a way marked on OpenStreetMap as they probably know the line. The Borrowdale race route off Scafell Pike, also down scree, isn't marked as a path, why is this one marked as a path?

There are two post boxes mapped at this location, on opposite sides of Paradise Lane, one with metadata and one without. Are there actually two at this location?

Surveying the new cycle tracks would be nice
