The Vehicle Activated Sign on Moor Lane at the Moorcroft Rd junction has been removed as it failing to lit up properly when activated by a speeding car.

It has been returned to the manufacturer and Officers are considering if it should be replaced in advance of any repairs.

The Council have been asked to consider installing a newer type of sign which displays the actual speed of an approaching vehicle.

They are increasingly used in other parts of the country.
