Editor’s Choice ASHLEY BAXTER STONEMASONRY MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION Ashley Baxter Stonemasonry is a small business with over 30 years experience in repairing listed buildings using traditional materials such as Lime Mortars.

Messagemaker develops bespoke solution to assist with traffic at Mersey Tunnel When a vital sign serving the exit from Toll Lanes at the Queensway Mersey Tunnel in Birkenhead suffered vehicle damage, Messagemaker responded. The new LED signage developed and designed by Messagemaker incorporates bi-directional chevrons and ‘NO ENTRY’ signs, which remain secret until lit, operating on an ‘as needed’ basis. Not only are the LED signs more energyefficient than the old back-lit signs, making them more cost-effective, they are also brighter and more visible to drivers. The signs are based on the Messagemaker DIA 640 bi-colour sign, part of the company’s comprehensive range of competitively priced, LED road and traffic sign solutions. Manufactured and approved for use in the UK, Messagemaker’s portfolio of high specification road and traffic signs meets Highways England technical requirements and is backed up by full technical advice and support during specification and installation.
