Residents of and visitors to the pretty village of
Ecton in Northamptonshire, a few miles east of the County Town, will no
longer be bemused by a prominent sign on the highway in the centre of the
village which read: "No entry ahead in 100 metres".
Erected in
1992, this illegal sign has now been removed by supporters of ARM and
Northamptonshire County Council has been informed.
It may be
recalled that ARM's campaign of removing illegal metric road signs began
with the removal of 18 illegal metric 'road hump' signs in June 2001 from
locations in the town of Northampton. The signs were unceremoniously
dumped in a hedgerow several miles away and subsequently retrieved by
Council staff after the Northampton Chronicle and Echo were informed.
Today the signs are in legal yards, not illegal metres
