DAMAGED roadwork signs in Herts are set for a spell in prison.
Herts Highways will be sending broken steel temporary signs to The Mount Prison in Bovingdon.
The aim is to give the signs a makeover in an effort to cut resource wastage.
The signs will be repaired in the prison's metal workshop.
Hundreds of street signs are damaged across the country each year.
The aluminium signs are also being recycled in another scheme introduced by Herts Highways.
