Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 450309.
There are new builds been put up opposite our cottages and the owner as moved the sign on there side of the road to our side but lowered it so it obstructs our view of on coming traffic especially motor bikes,this is already a dangerous crossing and this just adds to it,it's been there for at least1 week now

The attached pictures are a drivers view of the road when attempting to pull out of our access road at Station Cottages. Zoom in to pic 1 and you will see a perfectly hidden, yellow articulated lorry. Yellow! Broad daylight! You will see the lorry emerge from behind the sign in pic 2. Pic 3 shows the distance we have to pull out, to see past the sign. Why has it moved? Who moved it? Why weren't we informed? I find it difficult to believe that this was conducted by Highways by the way it is positioned. I had a near miss with a motorbike this morning who was not doing 30 by the time they got to me. Nobody does 30 at that sign. The sign needs moving further down the road now that the new access has been made at the new bungalows. We need to take down the village element of the sign at least as its not a safety necessity. We are happy to do that for safeties sake but do not want to risk the fine. Please help urgently.

The signs look stupid as one is half the size of the other also the signs have not been put back in there original position as promised by you,they need to be put back in there proper position also the post needs removing along with the signs and put back on the opposite side of the road were it as been for the last 30 off years so how can you tell us it's fixed when it's obvious it is not regards P.Drjnkell
