Public path not signposted, path not maintained
Reported via desktop in the Path/Way illegally diverted category anonymously at 11:47, Monday 9 February 2026
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8873918.
The public footpath leading from Gables Farm to Badgeworth Lane is not signposted nor has it been maintained. Instead you have to use the tarmac road that leads from the farm to join Badgeworth Lane lower down. There is no style or gate to get from the field where the public footpath ends onto Badgeworth Lane. My photo shows where a style/gate should be.
