ROAD SIGNAGE continues to be a source<br />

of confusion in the district.<br />

We’ve reported on the issue before, and<br />

we have more again today.<br />

New concerns have been raised on<br />

the West Melton Community Page on<br />

Facebook (see page 1).<br />

The district council says 68 traffic management plans are<br />

submitted to the council each month, a reflection of the large<br />

amount of development.<br />

So mistakes can happen. But some things just don’t add up.<br />

Take the two former car parks outside The Famous Grouse<br />

in Gerald St, Lincoln. They are car parks no more for safety<br />

reasons. But people still park there because the white car park<br />

lines remain. A reasonable defence if the constabulary decide to<br />

issue a ticket.<br />
