Unnecessary stile (Knapton FP 6), 5th April
See photos! Stile on the path. The land is not being grazed, and there is a gap in the adjacent makeshift fence made out of sheep hurdles. The stile is performing no legitimate function, but is impeding the public's passage. Norfolk County Council, you should rescind any authorisation for a stile here, and only be prepared to authorise a less restrictive option instead, in line with your published policies.

Misleading notice (Knapton FP 6), 5th April
See photograph! Aggressive notice on display, demanding that dogs "must" be kept on a lead. No relevant byelaw is in force, so there is no such requirement. Norfolk County Council need to enforce against this notice, and advise the landholder as to more appropriate wording for any notice on display on a public path.

Report on FixMyStreet
Enclosed, narrow path overgrown (Knapton FP 7|), 18th March
See photographs! The narrow, enclosed path is becoming profusely overgrown. The fence running alongside the path means that there's nowhere for the pedestrian to go, in order to avoid the overgrowth. Exacerbated by the problems already reported here: https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/5252909 and here: https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/5465997

Potholes, 17th March
There is a massive pothole just near Luke Cottage which is getting bigger & as from my photos you can see the roads are not very wide so soon you will have no choice but to drive over it, ALSO there is few more as seen in my photos which needs repairing these are a little way alone the first pothole as you travel towards North Walsham it’s probably best if you just drive alone this road & investigate the whole road because this is where the heavy farm machinery travel along

Incorrect signage (Bacton RB7a), 18th February
Byway incorrectly signposted as a footpath. Norfolk County Council, please remember your duty, under s.27(2)(b) of the Countryside Act 1968, to erect a signpost showing, so far as the highway authority consider convenient and appropriate, where the footpath or bridleway leads, and the distance to any place or places named on the signpost. It would be both convenient and highly appropriate for the villages of "Knapton" and "Paston" to be included on the new signpost here.

Public path narrow and overgrown (Paston FP 8), 30th January
Between the grid references TG 3107 3225 and 3110 3225 the physically available path is considerably narrowed, compared against what it appears is the legal width, and is heavily encroached upon by overgrown surface and overhanging vegetation, including woody branches.

Signpost broken (Paston FP 8), 30th January
Wooden signpost broken. Norfolk County Council, if you are intending to erect a new signpost here, please remember your specific duty under s.27(2)(b) of the Countryside Act 1968. It would be convenient and appropriate for the new signpost to display the fact that the byway leads to Edingthorpe Street.

Fallen branches and encroaching hedging., 24th January
Traveling west along Mill Road a short distance past the sawmill there is branch of a tree that has been lying over the carriageway on the sawmill side for some time and has resulted in vehicles having to avoid the obstacle to pass, this has led to larger vehicles running off the tarmac surface on to the verge risking losing traction on sinkage. Also, further along on the same side again going West, the hedging is encroaching very close to the roadway and is having similar impact on the safety of motorists, particularly as it is on a bend, the holly clearly needs attention before an accident occurs.

Incorrect clearance (Knapton RB 11), 22nd January
Reporting further to https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/4607526 (May 2023). The byway has undergone recent winter cutting works, but the out-of-repair part, here, which actually needed cutting most of all - has been left untouched! The cutting machinery has swerved off to the east, even overspilling the eastern boundary of the highway.

Broken fence alongside public path (Knapton FP 7), 19th January
Part of the fence, which runs directly alongside an extremely physically narrow section of this public path, is broken, and encroaches onto the already limited space within which the public can pass along the path. See photograph.

YET AGAIN! Signpost leaning over (Bacton FP 12), 2nd January
Further to https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/1918212 (Jan 2020) and https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/4322263 (March 2023) this flimsy wooden signpost is AGAIN leaning severely - see photos. Leaning over worse than ever! The signpost is failing to indicate the whereabouts of the path with sufficient accuracy, and its poor state detracts from the very importance of the public path as a public highway. Clearly a post of this type is prone to continued leaning. Also, there is no information on the signpost about where the path leads to; FP 12 is part of the shortest public pedestrian route between the villages of Edingthorpe and Witton, and it is clearly highly convenient and appropriate for it to be stated on the signpost that the path leads to Witton, as per the specific requirement of s.27(2)(b) of the Countryside Act 1968.
