Street sign problem

We are responsible for providing and maintaining street name signs on the highway.

If the highway sign does not have a street name on it, you need to report it to Essex County Council.

You can report issues with street signs to us, if they are:

  • damaged
  • faded
  • graffiti covered
  • spelt incorrectly
  • missing

You can also request a new street sign, as long as you have a reason why it is needed.

To report a problem with a street sign, you will need:

  • the location of the sign
  • description of the problem
  • a photo of the problem (if you have one)
  • your contact details
