There's a campaign under way that calls for the postal
authorities to remove all reference to Humberside.
This local government administrative county was created in
1974 and linked the two banks of the Humber for the first time.
It was obliterated in 1996 when North Lincolnshire Council
was formed, together with other new unitary authorities.
Yet, as this Brigg picture shows, Humberside County Council's
presence is still with us.
The sign points the way along Clothes Hedge Footpath, between
Yarborough Road and Churchill Avenue - a public right of way.
North Lincolnshire Council is now the footpath
and rights of way authority and has invested staff time and money in keeping
this route clear for walkers.
So it's rather strange that, in 17 years, no-one has got
round to updating the sign.
