SIGNS explaining that major works are due to start in Cirencester next month are to be removed, as they are not clear enough for motorists.

Roadsigns have appeared on Tetbury Road in Cirencester saying "Major Works commencing March 2015. Expect delays" but Gloucestershire County Council has said the signs will soon be taken down, and replaced with ones which have more information.

Residents have been questioning why the signs have appeared, and have taken to social media to try to find out more.

The council explained that the works on Tetbury Road taking place next month will be part of a project led by Barnwood Construction.

More to follow.
