What to do about a problem
The responsibility for making sure that public rights of way are kept in good condition and free from obstacles lies with the Highway Authority, i.e. The Suffolk County Council.
The Council has set up three teams for looking after its rights of way, each of them headed by an Area Rights of Way Officer. These are located as follows :-
Central Area Great Blakenham

East Area Saxmundham
Tel. 01728 403079
e-mail : row.east@et.suffolkcc.gov.uk
West Area Bury St Edmunds
e-mail : row.west@et.suffolkcc.gov.uk
The Council has also set up a website via which problems can be reported directly. The address is : -
