Peterborough MP says problems with city road signs is clear for all to see

Do you think there needs to be work to make signs more visible?

Mr Bristow has written to Jim O’Sullivan, chief executive of Highways England, to ask for works to be carried out on the A47 in the city to make the signage more visible.

He said: “A number of Peterborough residents have contacted me to express concern about some issues along the A47, which runs through my constituency in Peterborough.

“Between junctions 15 and 20 in Peterborough there are significant sections of overgrown vegetation, which sometimes obstructs signs at the approaches to the junctions.

“This causes problems for some motorists, particularly those who are not familiar with the road.

“Indeed my mother, who has only lived in Peterborough for 37 years, regularly finds herself on the way to the A1 as she missed the Bretton junction. She blames overgrown vegetation!

“I would be grateful if you could ask your team to cut back the vegetation where it obstructs the signs, and to clean the signs so that they can clearly be seen by all motorists.”
