When will Essex Highways take their signs back?

For the third time, Essex County Council's contractors have carried out repairs to the A132, the main exit route from South Woodham Ferrers and the Maldon peninsular. But have the current repairs been completed? We are concerned because temporary speed signs, which should have been removed once the repair work was done, are still in place more than 3 months later. Similarly the uneven surface signs are still there, too. Maybe the signs have been left to save putting them out again when future repairs are needed! Whatever the case, it is unfortunate for vehicles using the road that they are must continue to keep to the 40mph limit for the foreseeable future, unless someone at Essex Highways decides they need them somewhere else!
