I understand that Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Transport Secretary Philip Hammond have written to council leaders calling on them to reduce the number of signs and other "street clutter.
At the junction of the Rose Lane / Crab Lane / Sun Street - Biggleswade there is a :
1. Large yellow "patching works" sign for 27th & 28th September 2010
2. Statutory notice attached to post at traffic lights with a date of 24th April 2010 on it.
3. Another statutory notice attached to another adjacent post, ripped and weathered, which I am not sure if it is still valid.
Can you arrange to have these removed please?
I have attached photographs.
On checking online for an update a few days later, this comment had been added:
"These are the "Signal timings changed ahead" signs that were put in for the recent bridge improvements"
I sent Highways another email pointing out that I had sent them photographs and they were nothing to do with timings.
Within hours a chap from Highways rang up to find out where these signs were, apparently he was not sent a copy of the email or the photographs. Having explained the location to him, he said he would get them removed. Driving past today they appeared to have gone.
