To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government his plans to issue guidance or direction to local authorities regarding the removal of hundreds of out of date public infrastructure development signs littering the countryside, much of it dating back two decades or longer, given that the signage materials and poles are manufactured from metal that has a recycling value; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department will issue a request to local authorities at the first suitable opportunity to remove signage relating to public infrastructure provided by them that sets out information that is no longer necessary or is out of date and whose display is no longer required by the funding body concerned.
