Dane Valley Road Sign
Written by Matt B · first published 23/10/2008
Not so very long ago I found myself in Dane Valley. This is not unusual as I am often to be found within the Millmead Children Centre Partnership building (Sure Start Millmead as it was). I happened to have my phone with me and notice the dire state of the street sign I was passing along Dane Valley Road.
As you can see the sign plate is quite new but the supports to which it has been attached do not have long left in this world.
As you can see the level of decay is quite high.
The support is rusted through and holes have appeared rendering it somewhat dangerous e and definitely unsightly. Surely this was spotted and reported when the new sign face was put up?
No? You do surprise me... (!)
Here is a better shot of the "damage" that time and rain (and no coat of wetherproofing) have brought about.
Is this a one off? Have you seen worse examples of decay and neglect around Thanet? Send them in to Matthew at Thanet Star dot com. These things can only go unfixed if they also go unmentioned.
