Road Sign Missing

Reported via desktop in the Damage to Sign (NH) category by David Thompson at 12:37, Thursday 5 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8845038.

The National Road sign (i.e the one with the green background) is missing and has been ever since Storm Arwen blew it down. Although the minor road sign (Elwick / Easington Grange) is still present it is smaller and therefore less visible from distance. There is a danger to stationary vehicles waiting to turn right off the A1 being hit from behind

Updates
