Obstruction and lack of signage

Show reporter’s name

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5474409.

There is no access to bridleway 118/010 from bridleway 106/014 due to the deep hawthorn hedge and barbwire topped fence that is behind that. There is also no signage that there is a right of way there. This means that you have to follow bridleway 106/014 and try and cross the A1068 on a blind bend.

Updates

Thank You for your report. We will review this report at our earliest opportunity.

You keep asking me every 4 weeks if the issue is fixed. Would be nice to receive a message stating the issue has been resolved.

Taken 5th May. Still no access to the Bridleway that should be off to the left through the hedge and fence. Regards Ian

25th August 7 month on from original raising of the issue and still nothing done or any communication about if there is any plan to do anything.

No action taken due to nesting bird season. Landowner to undertake agreed works to reopen up the obstructed bridleway.

30th March 2025 and very little progress apart from some fence posts. Not entirely sure why these are needed. Making access through the blocked fence/hedge would have been enough I would have thought. 14 months since the original incident was raised and this will be delayed further now as it's nesting season again?? Shocking

Last time I passed and there was still no progress. I'll assume grounds nesting season again. Any information on when this may be completed
