New County Signs to replace 'Cumbria'
Dear Cumbria County Council,
With the impending abolition of Cumbria County Council, I wish to know are you taking down the defunct
road signs showing 'Cumbria' on all approaches inwards to to what is currently 'Cumbria' as new unitary authorities Cumberland and Westmorland & Furness are coming into force?
I understand that all other abolished authorities such as 'Cleveland' and 'Humberside' and others did so and then had new signage placed showing the new Counties.
On a personal note it would be much preferential to see just CUMBERLAND on road signage and likewise WESTMORLAND & FURNESS which reflect reality, not an administrative area (Cumbria) which hasn't even made it to 50 years of existence.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Robert Toone
