Report on FixMyStreet
Intimidating notices (Ovington FP 1), 14th April
Notices on display, beside the path, shown in photos. One warns "DANGER Hedge cutting in progress" - no such operation was in progress. Another warns of CCTV and that "THESE PREMISES ARE ALARMED AND THE SURROUNDING AREA 24/7", and another declares ""EXPLOSIVE STORAGE AREA - AT RISK AREA". All of this is exacerbated by the COMPLETE ABSENCE of ANY official signage for the public path - WHATSOEVER!

Misleading signage at start of public path (Ovington FP 2), 14th April
Misleading sign, in bold red and white, exclaiming "BEWARE! DEEP DITCH". It is not clear to what ditch this refers, but the display of this notice, coupled with the complete absence of any official public path signage, is highly likely to deter members of the public from attempting to use the path.

STILL no signage for the public path! (Ovington FP 2), 14th April

Deterrent notices STILL on display (Ovington FP 1), 14th April
Reporting further to https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/500711 (July 2014) and https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/2291182 (Sept 2020). Deterrent notices are STILL on display, as are the gates. The photographs give three examples out of a great many. Photos taken on 13th April 2024. Under s.57 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, it is a criminal offence for anyone to place or maintain, on or near a public path, a notice containing any false or misleading statement likely to deter the public from using the way - and Norfolk County Council to enforce. The county council are continuing in shameful, gross and inexcusable neglect of their duty.

Signpost unreadable (Watton RB 12), 14th April
See the photograph! Wooden signpost unreadable, other than at very close quarters. The words "RESTRICTED BYWAY" have been engraved into the wood, which is difficult to read, anyway, but the letters have been further obscured by lichen. Norfolk County Council, these signposts, at road junctions, need to be readily readable by all highway users.

Carriageway constricted (Watton RB 12), 14th April
See the photographs! The carriageway is heavily overgrown, north of the footbridge. Even trees are growing out of the carriageway surface! The physically available width is reduced down to less than two metres! Norfolk County Council, it looks as though you have, for a long time, only been maintaining this route, at most, as though it were a footpath!
