Amend the law so as to require traffic authorities to cause traffic signs to be placed on or near roads for the purpose of indicating the location of historic county, town and village boundaries; to require the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to mark the boundaries of the historic counties, towns and villages on its maps; and for connected purposes.
The Historic Counties, Towns and Villages (Traffic Signs and Mapping) Bill would require traffic authorities to place signs near roads indicating the location of historic county, town and village boundaries. It would also require the Ordnance Survey to mark these historic boundaries on its maps. The aim is to help people understand local heritage and locate historic boundaries more easily, with related provisions for connection to other measures.
The bill is currently at its Second Reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to Committee Stage and subsequent readings before any potential passage into law.
