Denbighshire Council is to review road signs on village lanes after a house was hit by an HGV for the 16th time in 18 years. The most recent collision occurred on 25 November, and since then Amanda Sandland - the owner of the house in Bodfari, near Denbigh - has called for signs to be put up nearby warning drivers to stay off narrow lanes.

According to Sandland, signs need to be put up on the nearby A541 to prevent HGV drivers using the B5429 through the village. A spokeswoman for the council says they will look into signing following the incident, and adds: "Nationally, there is an initiative in the pipeline for a sat-nav system for HGVs which will guide them away from these narrow country lanes."
