Our roles explained - sign maintenance.

As part of our roles in maintaining routes, we need to monitor signing.  A misplaced sign can be very misleading to those who are are following the route for the first time and depend on our signage.

Generally people tend to use GPS software now and know where they are going, but the old fashioned ways are the best.

In the case below, the sign pointing the way out of Burton had been moved (by someone considerably tall).  Whilst these signs were put up by the County Council (Staffordshire in this case) it is often quicker for us to make amends where possible.

Then again, if it was left alone as intended we wouldn't need to do it at all!

After - signs now pointing correctly
