Shropshire Councillor Heather Kidd has slammed Shropshire Councill's contractor Ringway for the excessive time it has taken to mount a number of key road signs in her Division.

Council contractor slammed for village signs delay

Heather said: "This is the second time in 18 months we have had this problem. Signs are ordered by the Council and then they contract Ringway to put them up. I then discover the signs in question in some neglected part of the Craven Arms Depot months later.

"In this case they are a set of brown signs meant to attract passing motorists to the church, shop and other services in Chirbury. It is obvious passed Ringway's notice but the tourist season is virtually finished and the signs are still not up!

"This is really not on. Chirbury Parish paid for these signs and deserve better service than this especially as its the second time in 18 months that this has happened."
