Hello there, this sign has been hit and twisted around, so is not clearly visible. Unfortunately, this resulted in an articulated lorry getting stuck and bogged down by Cuddesdon Mill last week, closing the road for some hours prior to crane removal. It needs resetting in the ground and the sign turning around by 90Deg, so that it can be seen at this junction. Many thanks indeed.

Council ref: ENQ251035264

  • Hello again, I appreciate you have only been investigating this bent sign since 7th February, but only thanks to a local parishioner did we not end up with the same issue on 27th February, when another articulated grain lorry was attempting to get to the next parish via this totally unsitable road. Could I please ask you to expedite this now, as the road is single track, with sharp 90Deg bends and over two narrow stone/cast iron humpback bridges. Many thanks indeed.

  • Thank you for raising this concern with us. Apologies for the delay in response. We understand this sign has since been repaired, however we will confirm this and arrange for a repair if not.
