I suspect the local authority take on this is that satellite navigators 
make road name plates less important.  They certainly don't seem to make 
replacing missing or defaced ones a priority and I've certainly read 
people saying that road sign clutter can be reduced because people will 
use navigators.

(What actually annoys me is the number of houses without house numbers. 
  If I want to get a number, to report a problem to the council or water 
company, I may have to go three or four houses before I can get a number 
to work from.  I think some US city ordinances make house numbers 
mandatory.)
