After repeated requests from local residents concerned with the lack of road signs for their more remote areas, a community councillor has taken it upon himself to clean up the signs.

Armed with a tin of Hammerite paint and a brush, Cllr Steve Morgan scrubbed up one of the older 1930s cast iron roadsigns so that emergency vehicles, who had complained of difficulty finding some of the more rural patients, now had an easier task.

Llangattock Vibon Avel Community Council has sent letters to Monmouthshire County Council after complaints of the poorly signposted unclassified roads in their area, to no avail.

Steve, currently chairman of the council, said that the old signpost now had "been preserved for a few more years".
