Council plans to clean up the streets
This follows recent guidance from the Government that focuses on the need to reduce sign clutter to make road safety messages clear, improve our landscapes and save taxpayers’ money.
“This new Government guidance has opened up the opportunities available for tidying up our street scene,” said Coun Rob Waltham, Deputy Leader of North Lincolnshire Council.

“We want to make North Lincolnshire clutter free and easy to navigate around.
“Quite often signs can become confusing, especially for visitors who are not used to the roads.
“The beautiful North Lincolnshire landscape should not be affected by too many road signs, signals and barriers.
“More responsibility will be put onto drivers and pedestrians to consider their own safety if changes are implemented to signs across our communities.”
