Scott Mills Bridge sign removed at Fleet

The sign marking the Scott Mills Bridge at Welcome Break’s Fleet services has been removed.

The bridge, which had carried Scott Mills’ name in recognition of his long-standing association with BBC Radio 1, no longer displays the signage that linked it to him.

Removal of the sign comes just days after confirmation that Scott is no longer contracted to the BBC, bringing an end to his time with the broadcaster.

It was only last month that Welcome Break celebrated the 10th anniversary of the plaque, which was proudly displayed in the northbound building.

The bridge was christened in 2016 when Scott and his co-host at BBC Radio 1, Chris Stark, talked about it on-air.

Welcome Break has not commented publicly on the situation, and RadioToday has contacted the company for a comment.

But with the Bank Holiday weekend upon us, we may need to wait till next week to find out if the removal was in reaction to Scott’s sacking, or merely a coincidence.

Scott was questioned by police in 2018 following allegations about an incident or incidents in 1997.

The case was dropped due to a lack of evidence.
