Downmarket Signage Row

More signage news from around the UK from Hants and Dorset signs - the arrival of the 99p Stores in Lymington Hampshire has have raised the odd eyebrow in the town that suggested is was too posh for an Argos – but the latest saga has angered the new shop’s owners. The family-run discount shop, which last month moved into the site which was previously occupied by a Woolworths, have been told to take down their 99p sign because it is not in keeping with the town’s Georgian high street.

Theywill face prosecution if it is not removed as they do not have proper planning permission for the shop front signage.

A spokesperson for the New Forest District Council, said;" it would be extremely unlikely the company would obtain retrospective planning permission. Our judgement is that the sign is pretty awful and we will give them a brief opportunity to voluntarily remove it before we begin prosecution proceedings.”
