BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Wainwright's walks, supermarket own labels and country road signs

The signs that clutter rural roads and the rise of the 'own label'. With Winifred Robinson

Are road signs disfiguring our country roads? Should the government release information collected by schools to private companies? Consumer news with Winifred Robinson.

An inquiry into the quality of care for people with schizophrenia in England is calling for widespread changes. Countryside campaigners are urging the government to take action to rid our country roads of thousands of unnecessary road signs. The Department for Education is investigating changing the regulations to make it easier to release information held on the National Pupil Database. Sales of supermarket own-label goods are increasing, but are the big well known brands being damaged, and how might consumers be affected?

Presenter: Winifred Robinson
Producer: Jonathan Hallewell.
