We will be in touch
I wonder if someone is waiting on a lone phone in basement somewhere. Just waiting for that call :-).
"the" is the most used word in the English language. Maybe the Environment Agency has used them all up
Please ask them whether they've just used their own allocation or if the English language is now bereft, thanks
There is another wall a little bit further on. Concrete thing about 50cm high and 30cm wide. Perfect for sitting and ignoring the above repeating sign.
They were made offsite in controlled conditions. Then the simple EA nail gunned signs every 30m or so into them. Some are already cracking.
Perhaps the sign only applies to EA staff.?

I would assume that's a warning to the wall to keep off something unspecified. Maybe add a comma?
It’s an instruction to the wall to keep off you. The environment agency if called will explain at length the wall’s troubled history and how it’s easily triggered into sudden and unnecessary violence when photographed
edit - beaten to it but only because I was on hold waiting to speak to the environment agency
I would describe that as a fence rather than a wall.
Maybe it's a Yorkshire sign
"I would describe that as a fence rather than a wall."
I thought that as well. I was going say to say that to the EA....but they may of took offence.

As the well-known song goes: "Just another brick in wall."
Are you sure it's not an art installation?
Can you plonk a pair of Vans on the wall, for extra rule breaking points?

As it appears to be sheet steel, possibly Corten steel pilings driven in to reinforce the river bank as an erosion defence and barrier, I’d say describing it as a fence is rather understating it a bit..
And adding ‘Please’ would be nice, as well, but quite why the EA are ordering people to keep off it I don’t really understand, unless it’s an ‘elf ‘n’ safety’ fing, absolving them from an injury claim if someone slips and injures themselves in the process… 🤷🏼♂️

It is health and safety.
Specifically a EA Public Safety Risk Assessment (PSRA) has been undertaken. What will have been flagged is that lip. Its pretty shoddy to leave and edge like that because if you slip it will do serious damage.
Always worth remembering with this stuff its not aimed at those who think its rediculously obvious. Its aimed that don't or can't see the danger, kids enebriated etc. The PSRA workflow is pretty pragmatic signs might have been identified as a proportionate response rather that going wild with fencing and handrails and stuff.
