Third Time Lucky? – Removal of Queen Street Misleading Highways Signs

Howard and the sign which has been misleading the public in Shaw
Howard Sykes has championed the removal of misleading and ineffective roadsigns from Queen Street, Shaw weeks after completion of the roadworks.
Councillor Sykes in a letter dated 29th February 2012 to the Council’s chief officer for highways said,”I did hope that my pleas for efficient signage removal had finally got through to the respective officers, contractors and partners, however, the residents of Shaw have continued to be let down time and time again and I for one have lost patience with having to keep reminding you to remove information signs when works have been completed.”
This is the third episode in nine months where Shaw residents have faced the inconvenience of out of date signs being left on the highway, the two earlier occurances being in relation to “humps” and a separate occurance concerning the roundabout on Beal Lane, in which signs were left for three months.
The Council responded on 12th March to reaffirm their commitment to the safety of the public and the resolution of quality work to the highways which means the timely removal of signage. Howard said, “If any Shaw resident spots a stray roadsign in their neighbourhood and gets in touch with me, I shall be very happy to take the matter forward with the Council on their behalf.” Got a stray sign?
