People are being asked to highlight historical road signs in need of repair.

Cumbria County Council's Cumbria Highways department is carrying out an inventory of waymarkers and fingerpost signs to identify those most in need of repair and work out what needs to be done to them.

A spokesman said: "With so many of the old-fashioned fingerpost signs across the county, the council is asking members of the public to report their local signs that require refurbishment or repair."

Signs can be reported at www.cumbria.gov.uk via the "report a fault on the highway" link, selecting the option for road signs.

Alternatively, call 0300 303 2992 and speak to a highways officer.
