Just how long does it take to erect a sign?

I think it is good the Council are taking a hard line on these type of things. There has been many an accident caused by signs added at the side of the road which distract drivers.

It would be nice if they'd take another look at the signs on the approach to the roundabout from the esplanade, and maybe remove or re-site some of them. Not only are they a distraction but they obscure the motorist's view of on-coming traffic.

You would not expect 'them' to think like normal people would you....

What the public see and think varies a lot from the alledged 'people in the know' lol

PS For some, it's the wages at the end of the month that only count

What a negative outlook! - have you tried writing to/or speaking to your local councillor?, or put yourself forward to do a better job?!

Sadly the recent Whitehall expenses scandal has shown us that not all of our elected representatives are in it for purely altruistic reasons.

Thanks for the information. Glad to see something is being done. Not the worst thing in town but just wondered why it was taking so long. We've been through planning a number of times in the past and in recent years and the whole process is alot quicker than years ago.

I was in town today and horrified to see that the bookies and shoe shop on the Main Street still has no sign. I am absolutely convinced this was like this last year at the Glasgow fair. Would home owners get away with this? No, I don't think so.

The question does beggar how long does it take to erect a sign? Boots for example fitted a whole shop and had a new sign up in less that a week!

lol Still the same yet BTW

At least the quality of the Vinyl is top notch

PS All joking apart, how long does it actually take to get 1 sign through planning ? The Factory shop managed it in no time ?

Pretty sure that the factory shop just went ahead and done the signs and has applied for retrospective planning permission. The same as their new fire exit.

They did... With the signage anyway and the best way to go about it...

Anyway, new Scotbet sign is all made up and should.... should be up in the very near future.... Not name dropping on here on this lol

It is a complete joke to be honest. We have a regeneration scheme going on in Campbeltown and this situation is coming up to two years.

We have major events in the town and this is right on our Main Street.

A perfect story for the Courier to be covering and raising the question of why a shop can go over 18 months like this.....

PS - Has anyone noticed the Barlinnie like defence system at the back of the TSB? Isn't it just in the keeping of the area?!
