Tuckton: footpath I11 is no longer a public right of way

This grass track, running between the backs of houses in Horsa and Tuckton Roads, is marked as a public public footpath on current mapping, and indeed it once was. However, in recent years, the designation of public right of way must have been extinguished as it is no longer shown on the Borough Council's definitive map. I am sure the Ordnance Survey map will catch up soon. As well as the sign stating that there is no public right of way, it appears that a mound of earth or similar has been piled up in the distance, to thwart any attempt to go through. An identical sign is displayed at the other end of the track - see Image
