Can someone please explain why, after roadworks have taken place, the signs are not collected?

You see ‘diverted traffic’ and ‘road closed’ in place long after the work has been completed.

On the verges of the road you can see signs left for months, going rusty, making our roads look a mess.

Also, waste bags are left lying around – blue Swindon collection bags not collected. A house on the corner of Sheppard Street/Station Road/Bridge Street has such bags outside. Rats were spotted last Friday morning. When will these bags be removed?
