Holyrood looking to replace its gateway signs

By Mark Squibb

Holyrood councillor Steve Winsor said the ‘gateway signs’ welcoming folks into town may be replaced in the near future.

“The gateway signs as you come into our town are in poor condition,” said Winsor, who said the plywood signs have begun to rot.

Winsor said if the signs are going to be dilapidated, it’s better to not have signs at all.

“So, we’ve asked staff to get a plan together, and to get an estimate,” said Winsor. “It’s not an urgent thing, like fixing a waterline break — that’s urgent. But it is something that’s important. We’ve got to make sure that we improve it at the right time, for the right cost, and so staff is going to get a little bit more information for us, and we’ll bring it back to council… I would recommend it, but let’s get the numbers first.”
