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 improving signs during lockdown.

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

      Obnoxious pessimism is unwarranted.
