And this was the case for residents who say signs, cones, and a sandbag have been left around Templecombe Drive for months, with some now partly blocking a pavement and a ginnel. Road signs and cones left on Templecombe Drive. Cllr Fairclough, who represents Astley Bridge Ward, said she had contacted the highways department "two or three times" in recent weeks about signs being left on pavements. She said the issue was "very annoying for residents", adding that cones can be moved into the road and signs can obstruct ginnels. After The Bolton News contacted Bolton Council, a spokesperson said: "They are due to be picked up by the end of the day."
