Signs advising motorists to avoid Warminster town centre because of roadworks are due to be removed after numerous complaints from shopkeepers (link below.)
http://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/latestheadlines/display.var.2185766.0.traders_anger_over_town_signs.phpMark Brassington, owner of Jacqueline's Restaurant and Tearooms in the High Street, expressed his frustration over the signs after poor trade from roadworks carried out last year almost drove him out of business.
The signs explained that Morrison, a utility service provider specialising in water, energy, power and communications, were carrying out gas mains repair work until May 2 and advised motorists to avoid the town centre.
After complaints from local shopkeepers, plans have been made by Wiltshire County Council to take down the signs on the advice of Warminster Town Council.
Mr Brassington claimed his business lost more than £20,000 due to six-month long roadworks through the town last summer.
