West Berkshire’s road signs to get a lick and polish - well some of them anyway

Grubby road signs in West Berkshire are getting a wash.

The council wants the district to look smarter to visitors, so it has set aside cash for a clean up.

But it hasn’t actually figured out which ones it is going to clean yet.

“We're currently working on a schedule to prioritise the signs most in need of cleaning, and this effort will roll out over the coming months,” the council said.

"It's fantastic to see this work begin to get underway and continue our commitment to improve our highways for residents across West Berkshire,” said Stuart Gourley (Lib Dem, Newbury Clay Hill), executive member for the environment.

Typically, West Berkshire Council currently takes action to clean signs in accordance with its statutory responsibilities to ensure roads are safe for road users.
