Plastic road signs are to replace aluminium signs stolen in Surrey in an attempt to deter scrap metal thieves. Surrey County Council (SCC) said 16 signs with street names, chevrons and turnings had vanished in recent weeks. They will be replaced by polycarbonate plastic versions which have no sell-on value. About 40 metal drain and manhole covers have also been stolen. The council said the total cost of replacing the covers and signs would be about £16,000.  More
