Mr Maclean added: "What rankles more is the hypocrisy. I have constituents who cannot get signs on the A66 directing visitors to their business, pub or tourist attraction. The Highways Agency says that it would lead to road clutter and the public would be confused by too many signs. Yet these same people are cluttering the M6 and A66 with 34 totally worthless signs with no interest to anybody except the busy little bureaucrats who thought of them."
