A NEW road sign has appeared on Darwen Street. A black bottle on a white background with a red circle and red red line running top left to bottom right of it.

It's a prohibition sign! But for what? I can't drive so I don't read the Highway Code. Perhaps one of our readers knows what it is?

ALAN LEWIS, Laxey Road, Blackburn.

The signs are to signify the prohibition of drinking alcohol in public places.
