FIXMYSTREET IN NR12 0LS
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of NR12 0LS:
Deep mud in dip of road at the bottom of hill, 27th March
Mud from the nearby pig farm has now become so deep that, even when it is baked hard, it catches the bottom of normal cars. It is difficult for local residents who depend on mobility scooters to navigate, even when dry. In the wet it is impossible for mobility scooters and for people in normal footwear.

NCC signpost broken (Witton FP 1), 30th January
SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS! Norfolk County Council signpost has been broken down, and apparently thrown into the hedge.

Public path too narrow (Bacton FP 1), 29th January
See the annotated photos! The physically available path is very narrow - down to as little as 1ft. 10 in. in width, in parts. Norfolk County Council, you need to define the legal width of the path, and to ensure that that full legal width gets made and kept physially available.

No signage for the public path (Bacton FP 4), 2nd January
No visible signage, at the point where Bacton FP 4 leaves the metalled U11431 road - see the first two photos. The signage shown in the third image is inadequate for four reasons: (1) it is obscured by overgrowth, (2) the roundel is faded, (3) at less than 3 inches in diameter, with text at less than 4 mm., this roundel is not clear enough to effectively indicate the path at its junction with a metalled road, and (4) there is no information on the signpost about any place to which the path leads. The path forms the only direct public pedestrian highway route from Pollard Street (Bacton) to Witton, and it is clearly highly convenient and appropriate that that information be included on any signpost, here, as per the specific requirement of s.27(2)(b) Countryside Act 1968.

Misleading NCC signage STILL present (Bacton Fp 3), 16th November
Reporting further to https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/2787098 (June 2021). More than TWO years on, Norfolk County Council have ignored the report, and left the misleading signage in situ. There's no justification for this malpractice.

Rubbish dumped on public byway (Bacton RB 2), 5th August
The public carriageway is habitually being used as a dumping ground for what looks like garden waste. See photos. No part of the legal extent of this public highway is suitable for dumping rubbish; it causes a nuisance, as well as obstructing free passage along the carriageway.

Illegal path diversion!, 15th July
Whilst Witton FP 1 has remained illegally cropped, where it runs across the field - see: https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/4627714#update_10891914 - somebody has, within the last week, come along and cut the vegetation around the edge of the field instead - see photos. It appears that a cutter has visited Witton FP 1 and Happisburgh FP 1, within the last week, but has effected a diversion of this part of the path. Norfolk County Council, are you responsible for this cutting? If so, why has your cutter departed from the legal route of Witton FP 1?
