Sir – As your correspondent points out (Letters, August 16), the council seems to have difficulty with its road signs.

Near Yarnton Nurseries are signs warning ‘No Footway’, where there is a perfectly good footway. I brought it to the council’s attention, but the signs were still there the last time I went past. Warnings of roadworks and ‘no white lines’ are often left up long after they are needed.
