AN interactive road sign to slow drivers down through Blacksnape has been installed after a lengthy campaign.

The sign, which informs drivers when they are breaking the speed limit, is near the Red Lion pub in Blacksnape Road.

The sign is not currently functional because it has not been linked up to an electricity supply.

Coun Julie Slater, who has campaigned for the sign since she was elected two years ago, said she was “delighted” was pushing for it to be lit up as soon as possible.
