This is a license to print money for the LA's

Here we go again another area where Local Councils can abuse the motorists by putting up incorrect signs and then issuing PCN's

Well, doesn't that just put the icing dog shit on the cake. Councils have proven themselves to be completely irresponsible over the years bringing up the most ridiculous points of pedantry imaginable. The government's solution? Give the petty minded little Napoleons even more power to wield.

"Councils will be able to use innovative measures..."

So that's a license to let them do whatever the f*ck they want then. .

"We are cutting pointless bureaucracy, giving councils more freedoms, and updating our signs for the modern era."

Pointless bearocracy that sees its citizens bullied and their human rights abused for the sake of balancing the council's books!? I don't think so Mr Baker.

"This expensive clutter can also leave our roadsides looking unsightly and unwelcoming, so the changes I am announcing will help councils cut the number of signs they need to use."

So the fact that the ones they use aren't fit for purpose and confuse drivers means that we need LESS signs! I just want to see ones we can see and easily understand.

Has Mr Norman Baker ever read the Traffic Signs Manual? IT'S WHAT HE AND HIS ADMINISTRATION ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RELYING ON AT THE MOMENT. Is he seriously saying it's not good enough?
