HC Deb 25 April 1991 vol 189 c523W
Mr. Speller

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will approve the siting of a sign reading Exmoor market town at the South Molton exit to the North Devon link road (A361).

Mr. Chope

No, although signs indicating the availability of local services in South Molton are shortly to be erected on the link road. Signs need to be restricted to giving essential information quickly and succinctly and descriptive terms or area wide designations are not therefore appropriate.
