There used to be a blue rectangular weight restriction sign here, warning of the weak canal bridge ahead over the Shropshire Union Canal. Over years this sign has deteriorated to become hardly visible and recently, the sign has now disappeared altogether - presumably removed by someone. Picture shows what it did look like prior to disappearing altogether.
Please can you arrange for a replacement to be put back in place here else there is a risk that the bridge could become damaged by too large a vehicle, thank you

The sign at this location and others throughout the borough are not identified as urgent defects in accordance with the council’s Code of Practice, which is available on our website via the link below: https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/ pdf/ highways/ code-of-practice-for-highway-safety-inspections/ highway-inspection-code-of-practice-april-2021.pdf However, this location will be included into a future rolling programme of sign replacement works and will be prioritised within available budget along with locations of a similar nature. At this present time, we are unable to indicate a timescale for those works, until the necessary funding and resource becomes available.
