I do not disagree, not for one moment, that there may be some dubious goings on within local authorties within the UK. As I have stated before on here, the Rotten Borough section of the satirical magazine Private Eye regularly exposes such things. However, just because some questionable things happen in some local authorities it does not follow that there is mass corruption everywhere.
Might the correct word to be used be something along the lines of maladministration? Or, to use a more technical term, cock up? And yes, I have to say I would also like to know more about the 'corruption' allegations and local planning decisions.
The signs got a mention on this morning's BBC Sunday Politics South-West Show.

Caught the Sky news coverage on this. Perhaps, as the newscaster suggested, all these signs should become Dawlish's USP (unique selling point). Tourists might queue to have their photos taken beside/in front of these infamous signs. And like said in an earlier posting, if these signs generate more tourists then perhaps that's how the town centre economy can be boosted.
Just done something I rarely do, bought a Murdoch newspaper, in this case The Times. Dawlish and its signage is the lead story on page 7. The Times coverage is then continued on its leader page (35) with a satirical skit. @ZIGGY - given The Times has a paywall are you able to post the page 35 leader piece on here as well as the page 7 article?(which you have already done, above.)
And look out for Sky News today 1.45pm
