Investigating
Non-Functioning Electronic School Crossing Sign
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 6 hours, 33 minutes later. ref: 9726482.
Sign Ref: 684 - Electronic School Crossing Warning Sign
This sign has been broken and non-functional for several years now, despite previous reports nothing has been done.
Reporting again now in the hope that the sign will finally get refurbished and repaired with the settings updated so it works and functions correctly and at the correct times in line with the term times of Pattishall Primary School.
I will also send the ref number for this FMS report to WNC Highways along with the ward councillors and Cllr Richard Butler - Cabinet Member for Highways & Transport to ensure high level visibiilty on this defect to ensure a repair is delivered.

Sign was removed by engineers last Thursday morning, I had the opportunity to speak with the lead engineer who stated that this sign was a very old style and had completely failed and could not be fixed.
They also stated that the sign had been mounted too low and had been a safety concern for pedestrians hitting their heads on the bottom of it.
Was informed that a request for a new pole and new style electronic school crossing sign would be submitted to replace this faild one and to ensure that the new one could be mounted at a safe height for pedestrians and improve visibility of the sign for approaching vehicles.
Can an update be provided as to when a new style modern school / pedestrian crossing electronic sign will be installed at this location?
