Footpath sign faces wrong way

Reported via iOS in the Damaged / Missing / Facing Wrong Way category anonymously at 21:31, Mon 10 November 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8401557.

Footpaths signs are supposed to indicate which direction the footpath goes in

This sign was pointing into a hedge today, on other days it faces different directions because it is not attached to its pole securely and spins in the wind

It needs securely attaching to its pole facing in the right direction, or replacing

I previously reported this same issue but it was closed with no action taken
