More chaos on Smithdown as fire engines called to deal with ‘dangerous’ sign

Two fire engines were called to Smithdown Road this afternoon to remove a neon shop sign.

The sign over Bleach hair salon, on the corner of Langdale Road, was in a “dangerous condition” after it was seen hanging from one bracket.

A fire crew was called just before 4pm to the busy junction, near Ullet Road, and two lanes on Smithdown Road were closed.
