John Edwards cleans "grungy" road signs as a hobby

  • Published

A cyclist's new hobby of cleaning street signs has already taken him as far afield as Belgium.

John Edwards, from Shrewsbury, took up the hobby after spotting a video of a man improve signs during lockdown.

Since then he has posted clips of his cleaning around the county, and has even been tidying up the signs in Belgium after watching a cyclist race.

Mr Edwards said he was delighted to clean the signs and the response from the public was "gangbusters".
