Carpet Depot Signage near Aldi
Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 969936.
Issues with the relatively new Carpet Depot sign placed on ditch by the Aldi turn off in Macduff. When pulling out of the turning from Aldi, turning right, there is now a huge Carpet Depot sign, it's temporary and on wheels, in the spot that would be used to see what is coming from the right hand side of traffic. Smaller cars are either being out too far out on the road to enable them to actually see oncoming traffic and nearly being hit or not being able to see at all and just "going for it". I get this is a prime location for people to see this advert, however it is in a dangerous spot and there are plenty of other spaces on that ditch and on the side of the road throughout Macduff and Banff for this sign to be safely placed. I might even suggest it being next to the Dolphin Chipper sign when you're actually turning right into Aldi'd car park. Could this please be investigated and moved along? I'm shocked it's been there for this long already, it's an accident waiting to happen.

We’ve completed our inspection and were unable to log a defect requiring action by the Roads Service.
In many cases, this means the issue may relate to land or infrastructure that is not maintained by our service. This could include areas looked after by another part of the Council — such as housing, landscape, or waste services — or by a third party, such as a utility provider, housing association, developer, or private landowner.
If the situation changes, or if you’re able to provide additional information, you’re welcome to get back in touch. However, if the issue continues to fall outside the Roads Service’s responsibility, it will remain with the appropriate service or owner to address.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention
