A small, proactive scheme in Chippenham organised a collection to purchase street signs which were installed this morning. The picture shows our Chair, Paul putting the sign up on a lamp post.
If you require street signs for your area/scheme, then contact Rob on his email: chair@wiltshirenhw.org
There are ree types of street signs you can purchase:
- The first one is a sturdy, rigid sign with metal fixings. This sign is the recommended one as it is the one that will last longer and less likely to be vandalised. The cost of these is £35 each. Why not try and see if you can get your local Council or Parish Council to fund these for you.
- The second one is a cheaper one that s not so good a quaility and is secured by cable ties. In time they will become brittle and the cable ties will also become loose over time.
- The third one is an overlay. What this does is stick over your current sign. The disadvantage of this is that over time the overlay will start to peel off the sign
So you can see that the first option is the best one if you can get the funding.
