Two of the ten signs asking traffic to slow down through Waipawa have gone missing.
The signs depict local children, each with a road safety message.
The signs were privately funded, and a Facebook post yesterday said “they weren’t cheap”.
Anyone with information on the two missing signs is asked to make contact with the “Hey You – Slow Down, Waipawa” Facebook page.
