Fixed
Blocked Byway and signs removed
Reported in the Rights of way category anonymously at 09:43, Sun 15 March 2015
Sent to East Sussex County Council 2 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 605249.
Firle Byway 12 at Newelm. Byway completely blocked and signs removed where it joins the Firle Bostal road. Also blocked to the west by hedging where it should join Beddingham Byway 9.
This Byway appears to not exist because of the lack of signing and blocking.
Asside from an ancient right of way, It is an important and safe route for cyclists heading to Beddingham 4b without using or having to cross the dangerous A27 trunk road and needs to be re-instated.

Tried to walk this byway today (24th April 2016) over a year after the original post. There is no sign on the Littledene end TQ457070. The path can be walked easily up until TQ462072 whereupon the field has been ploughed and the byway not marked by tractor or signs. We crossed the field with difficulty along the line of the missing byway. On reaching TQ464071 the gate to the next field is closed and the field contained cows with calves. Byway not at all clear from here and did not want to enter livestock field. Turned back.
