Call from Cllr Willie Clarke To Replace Old Gateway Signs In Newcastle
Mourne’s DEA Councillor Willie Clarke has called on Newry Mourne and Down District Council officials to install gateway signage in Newcastle.
Cllr Clarke said: “The gateway signage entering Newcastle leaves a lot to be desired.
“The current signage is outdated and was part of the legacy Down council branding. First impressions are everything. These impressions are absolutely crucial and we want visitors to Newcastle to get the right one, as well as ensuring residents are proud of where they call home.
Cllr Clarke said many of our current signs are extremely old and unsightly adding “indeed there is a sign from 2009 for Best Kept Town in Newcastle. This is unacceptable and sends out the wrong impression which harms our tourism product.”
