Road re-numbering

Coming in on the B5465 Mercian Way the road previously bore right through Shaw Heath. Now the B5465 continues along the previously unclassified Greek Street. The road to the right has been renumbered as B6184. This number is also allocated to the previously unclassified King Street West to the left. The road sign shows these new numbers. Being west of the A6 the B6148 is an "Out of zone" number.

and Alex Wreckage of the Mutoid Waste Company Link

and was designed to raise awareness of the global e-waste crisis and to encourage people to act responsibly with their old electronics, doing something that is both smart for them and smart for the planet.
