I haven't made a formal approach to Essex CC, but have been trying to build up a good relationship with their PROW team by reporting blocked paths, broken stiles, fallen direction posts and the like when I encounter such issues while out surveying. Occasionally I ask about the definitive statement being available. As at late 2010 they didn't have it in electronic format but said I could go and read a copy at a local council office (whose open-to-the-public hours are shorter than my working hours, so that isn't really possible without me booking leave). Earlier this year, or possibly late last year, the person responsible for footpaths in this district forwarded that part of my email to another team member but I didn't hear back. The relevant section of their website is sort of around here: http://www.essex.gov.uk/Travel-Highways/Public-Rights-Way/Definitive -Map/Pages/Definitive-Map.aspx I have another fallen direction post to report (I spotted it on its side on top of a pile of hay bales when I looked up at a point in my walk last month where I was expecting the path to split), so might ask again.
