On Friday 25th January a yellow 'Road Not Grtted sign was placed outside our property (not on footpath but on private owned shop frontage (Branston Old Post Office which is now a Tearoom - on Saturday around 1245 the sign blew over and smashed our shop sign, this occurred as out customers were exiting the shop - fortunately there was no injury. The sign was held down by one sand bag that had burst during placing of the sign. Two signs on the opposite side of the road were blown over on the Sunday. I have noticed on returning home this evening the sign has been placed back on our property - this not only unacceptable but endangers our customers therefore please have this removed tomorrow Tuesday 29th January before someone is seriously injured. I have photographic evidence of the incident outside our shop and the damage caused see attached
