Nightingale Passage at a glance
Since November 2025: 1 street problem. Each dot is one of them, in the month it happened. Our planning records start in April 2026 and our council papers in September 2025, and street problems show only while they are open, so earlier months may look quieter than they really were.
Planning and building here
Closing dates you can still act on, applications and decisions on the street, appeals, the protections that cover it, and the council's land and licensing papers.
Planning on this street
We have no planning applications or decisions for this street. That doesn’t mean nothing has happened here, only that the council’s weekly planning lists haven’t named it since our record starts on 21 April 2026.

Street problems reported here
Open reports from residents, made through FixMyStreet. “Near” means the nearest listed street to the point the reporter marked, not an address they gave. Reports that describe people, such as a tent or someone sleeping rough, are left out (the rule).
Not on the county’s list of adopted roads. Nightingale Passage isn’t named on East Sussex County Council’s map of adopted roads. It may be private or unadopted, it may be named differently there, or it may be a footpath, steps or a twitten rather than a road.
Of the 1 problem reported near Nightingale Passage that our record holds, 0 are closed on FixMyStreet and 1 is still open.
“Closed” is FixMyStreet’s status, set by the council or the person who reported it. It is not proof that anything was fixed. Our record of reports starts on 3 August 2026. Older open reports have been checked again for closure since 11 October 2026; before then a report that closed later could still show as open here.

The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at 116 Bohemia Road, about 340 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 19.4 µg/m³ in 2025.
Every year the report gives: 2021: 24.1, 2022: 23.8, 2023: 21.6, 2024: 21.3, 2025: 19.4 (µg/m³).
