Has anyone noticed that amount of temporary metal roads signs, frames and cones that seem to be breeding in Dover along most majors roads into Dover. Most being left after roadworks. No other town has this problem with this type of infestation
I contacted Kent County council who said it was not their problem and past the buck.
I e-mailed the councilor at DCC in charge of transport etc. In an e-mail back I was told that they had been contact with the relevant departments and were told that they were for Brexit. Did I laugh. Some of these signs have been around even before the idea of Brexit.
One day a DDC may take notice of the people they represent and remove them

Have just been to Heathrow and back (had to drop off a package! ) and there is a noticeable amount of empty sign frames along the M2/A2 and around Dover, but also quite a few around T5 Heathrow.

The making of road signs n traffic cones seems a good business to be in.

Yesterday after about 3 weeks of minimal work, the cones on the A256 near Tilmanstone were moved, so the road is back to a dual-carriageway. Perhaps you made a difference there?
