Enter Lydiate from Great Altcar where Altcar Lane makes the sharp turn into Bells Lane and you will be greeted with this sign:-

Well let’s be polite, it’s seen better days!

Indeed, near the top on the left hand side it is all but rusted through so it will soon become a real danger to road users and the public:-

I have asked Lydiate Parish Council to work with Sefton Council to have it replaced because of the danger.

Also, at some point down the line it could provide a nice place for a Lydiate in Flower boundary planter like the ones we see on Maghull’s boundary signs provide by Maghull in Bloom volunteers:-
