Fingerpost Sign Considered Dangerous

The more observant of you may have noticed part of the fingerpost directions has been removed.  Local councillor, Dave Chubb has issued the following statement:

“Seeing that the top finger post (Axminster / Marshvale) in the Square was only attached by two bolts and was swinging about I considered it a danger, so I have removed it.

These signs are now the responsibility of the Parish Council so I will progress through them for its fixing and refitting.”
