Who looks after this street
Not adopted. East Sussex County Council’s map names Francis Bird Place but shows none of it as adopted, so the county doesn’t maintain it. It may be a private road or a private street (an unadopted highway): “Private streets are also known as unadopted public highways and are different to private roads. Private streets are also maintained by the owners rather than the County Council but are open to the public.” (the council’s page)
