Am currently enjoying a few days in the Lake District. Bloody lovely place, although slightly disappointed that it hasn't rained yet.

While enjoying a run round I noticed that, on descending the Honister Pass into Seatoller via the B5289, there is a short 20mph zone. No issue in itself, except for the fact that there are no signs "opening" the zone as you come down the hill from the NSL area. There are no repeaters, speed humps etc, the road narrows to single car width at one point for a few yards. The only clue to the speed limit is the signs at the end of the limit as you pass through into the 40mph zone further down the road on the way towards Keswick.

Is this worth reporting to the local council? Looking on Google maps it seems the signs may have been missing for some time. I was recording the drive on my dash cam so have my own "proof" of the missing signs.

Cumbria- missing signs. Not possible. Just wait a few moments for Cap'n Pugwash to surface and tell us why . Captain, are you sleeping down below. I'd ask him to come forward by name, but he's reluctant to reveal his new true identity.
