Rainhill Road electronic sign

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured the reactivation of the electronic sign at the bus stop outside the Rainhill Road sheltered housing complex.

We noticed this was out of action some weeks ago and notified the officers at once. In the absence of a reply, and on seeing the display was still out of action, we contacted the officers again and this time  the officers did reply to the effect that they had already been in touch with the outside contractors who maintain this and they said the fault had been corrected. On finding that this was not the case, they contacted the engineers again and asked them to take another look.  It then came to light that there was a possible problem with the electrical supply to the sign and that it was being investigated.  The power supply has now been restored. This sign, along with 15 others across the city, is somewhat long in the tooth and the officers are looking into the possibility of replacing them all.  It goes without saying that if we have any further information in this connection we will of course pass it on.
