I NOTE the proliferation of road traffic signs providing masses of useless information on the city and county roads.
The latest example seen on the A44 was a sign courtesy of the Worcestershire County Council thanking me for my patience during the resurfacing work.
Having just received my council tax bill showing the percentage paid to the county, I was interested to find out how much the manufacture, erection and dismantling of this latest piece of nonsense has cost the ratepayer.
Imagine my surprise when informed by a Highways Manager that the signs were erected following a survey of their "customers".
So not only do we have money wasted on meaningless signs, they are put there from information gleaned following the expense of a survey.
I have asked for a breakdown of the cost of all this waste to be provided and this will be the subject of further correspondence.
PAUL CURTIS,
Worcester.
