Route description
The original route looked good and received one good review but that review did report that a short section of path was closed and an alternative route would need to be found. So here is a way around the closed path. The short section of closed path was reported to have been closed for 8 years and the Notts CC site shows temporary closures since before April 2019 see https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/planning-and-environment/walking-cycling-and-rights-of-way/rights-of-way/news/temporary-closure-of-greasley-fp32-and-fp40 The notice reads: The Continuation Order will come into force on 30th April 2019 and any prohibition contained in the continued Order shall apply on that day and on any subsequent day or days when it shall be necessary for the prohibition to apply to enable works to be carried out and the Order shall continue in full force until the works it is proposed to carry out are completed The duration of this Order may be extended with the approval of the relevant Secretary of State. It would appear that a house has been built so if building work is complete the path should reopen. It is unreasonable for the County Council to maintain support for the closure. See Google satellite, the path goes up the drive opposite Stamford Street https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Newthorpe,+Nottingham/@53.0119376,-1.280599,112m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4879eb2d602f24b7:0x260e1ca9dad72d71!8m2!3d53.013284!4d-1.2840069?hl=en-GB
