GAS PIPES COMPANY SETS OUT ITS STALL - BUT DOES THE VICAR APPROVE?

Getting the message across - but isn't it all a bit clumsy?

                                                                                                                

UTILITIES company Cadent does important work in laying and maintaining gas supply pipes in North East Lincolnshire and beyond.

But it is surely doing its reputation no good with its 'eyesore' signage outside Humberston’s majestic parish church?

St. Peter’s is a Grade 2 listed landmark, but, for weeks, its setting has been marred by a set of oversize promotional posters installed by Cadent on the edge of its pretty environs.

                                                     

St Peter's Church - a building of splendour

Is this acceptable to the parish council or to North East Lincolnshire Council’s planning department or its ward councillors? Do the vicar, the Rev Louise Vincer, her churchwardens and her flock approve  of such insensitivity in the shadow of a holy building?  

Has advertisement consent been obtained form NELC's planning department - or even applied for?

If the answer is 'no' to any of these questions, the signage should be removed forthwith.

Surely?

                       

Easy on the eye? Not really - the view for cyclists, pedestrians, motorists and those living opposite
