This street name in Brigg - Old School Close - is well chosen.
It reflects the fact that the housing development, off Glebe Road, stands where Brigg County Primary used to be.
It's 10 years since the "new build" on Atherton Way replaced the Old seat of learning that had had served us faithfully since 1929.
But the highway authority seems to have overlooked the fact that the school on Glebe Road is history.
Two signs alerting approaching drivers that schoolchildren might be about are still in place.
Last year we mentioned these "survivors" on Brigg Blog but our post failed to generate any action.
A Government-driven campaign to reduce the number of roadside signs was launched some months ago. But it has failed to have an impact along one of Brigg's best-known streets.
The signs are worth little as scrap and it will cost more to remove them that the local authority can hope to recover from recycling the metal.
But, after 10 years, isn't it time North Lincolnshire Council took them down?

.....not as ancient as the Glebe Rd dilemma, but school zig-zaps remain in Redcombe Lane after the old Redcombe School site has been demolished and the gates do not appear to be recognised as the new Vale vehicular/student access points.
It is known that the parking enforcement officers visit Redcombe Lane ( it has some double yellows), but what would happen if someone parked on the zig-zags of the ghost school, while the parkie was wandering about?
Deviating, but still in the same vein of signage...
The so-called No-Cycling signs in the town centre display, 'Cyclists - Dismount in the Market Place'.....no mention of Wrawby Street!
Some folks notion of 'No Cycling' in the pedestrian area, does not correspond to the instructions on the signage.......Confusing, but similar to confusion relating to vehicles in the so-called pedestrian area...
Indeed, there is a number of confused/ incomplete highway-related idiosyncracies within a relativelt small area..
1 The Glebe Rd moribund School Signs,
2. Yellow zig-saga outside the non-existent Redcombr school.
3.Cycling signs in Briggs retail area.
4.Traffic, including juggernauts using the pestrian area.
5. Market Lane - what the dickens is happening? Developing multi problems!
6. Various proposals to use Brigg's expensivr/extensive CCTV to monitor traffic wrongly using the pedestrian area/County Bridge...but CCTV system cannot be used legally for traffic offences.
7. Who actually owns Springs Way? My understanding is that it belongs to NLC Estates ( as Highways does not own concrete roads), but some officials claim it belongs to Tesco, while Tesco says it is outside their boundary...
One day the mist of the crystal ball will hopefully clear!

In most of the school teacher's are using signs for give information to children parents. I must say, this is a best idea to communicate with guardian. Signage Perth
These Signage Perth are really very helpful. Because by them people can easily communicate with each other so easily. Amazing idea it is.
This is a great post on the cctv signs. Very neatly explained the importance of safety. We deal in all safety sign and we know that display of cctv signs is as important as fixing security cameras.
