Street name signage around the entire Bath Western Riverside development is being improved to increase visibility thanks to action by Westmoreland Councillor Sharon Ball.
Building and street names for the new housing area were nicely etched into the buildings, following traditional local practices.
However, residents have been asking for the signage to be improved as it is very difficult to read the names.
This has been a particular problem for people visiting the site – for example delivery people who may not be familiar with the area.
Councillor Ball met with developer Crest Nicholson and discussed various options for enhancing the names to make it clearer and local residents will be pleased to see that the etched names are being painted to improve visibility without the need for signs to be attached to the side of buildings.
Councillor Sharon Ball (Lib Dem, Westmoreland) commented: “It is great to see that these names are being improved to make them clearer.
“I have been contacted by a large number of residents at Western Riverside requesting something to be done as they were having difficulty receiving their deliveries.”
Local Lib Dem campaigner, Sarah Moore, added: “These improvements should also make the signs easier for people with impaired vision. We are grateful to Crest Nicholson for listening to, and acting on, residents’ concerns.”
