New road layout sign need removing
Sent to Rutland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6300075.
I have previously reported redundant road signs regarding the 'new road layout' on the Ketton to Edith Weston road, commonly called Empingham Road. The layout was changed 4 years ago and I have called fir the signs to be removed. You say there is nothing wrong and referred me to your own highways policy (although you sent me a broken link). Your policy states: "1.6 Temporary Road Signs 1.6.1 Temporary signs for road works and new road layouts shall be signed in accordance with Chapter 8 of the TSM and the code of practice for Safety at Street Works and Road Works. All temporary signs shall be removed as soon as reasonably practicable. Signs to diag.7014 – permanent changes to the road layout, shall be removed after 3 months" So your policy agrees with what I have reported, the signs should be removed. You can't have a policy that is very clear, and then ignore it whilst telling me to view it.
