There is a dangerously unsafe street sign which has come loose from the metal post. It needs to be fixed to avoid falling on a pedestrian (or child!!) on the footpath below. It is also located near of a busy traffic roundabout- to avoid a vehicle collision . (Please note: the photo uploaded doesn’t show the sign dislodged because it is a historic screenshot from Google maps).
