Campaigners say put A&E icon on sign

Thank you to Bill Howe for photo above

Three signposts directing drivers to King George Hospital are at the junction where the Eastern Avenue meets Barley Lane.

One has been recently changed to delete Chadwell Hospital (which is closed). It is unclear whether an A&E icon has been covered up. The other two signs have Chadwell Hospital and an A&E icon on them.

Are the other signs to be changed?

Was the A&E icon whitened over?

Will an A&E icon be put on the sign in question?

TFL has not yet responded to Redbridge Council enquiries about the sign made on 28th August.

TFL need to put an  A&E icon on the sign ASAP. Visitors need all the help they can to find an A&E. Delays reaching A&E can adversely impact on patient safety.

Photoshoot Friday 29th August 12:30pm over A&E sign whte out

Three are three signs where the Eastern Avenue meets Barley Lane two have the A&E sign, one has recently had the A&E whitened out with stickers per the photos below.

There will be a photoshoot tomorrow at 12:30pm by the altered sign. The purpose is to call for the A&E icon to be put back on the sign ASAP. King George A&E will be visted by people from outside the area who will need all the help they can to find an A&E in a hurry.

I have Chadwell Cllrs to look into this and will report back later.
