| The new double-sided sign |
A NEW street sign is to be installed as part of the ongoing revamp of the area at the top of Sea View Street where it meets Alexandra Road.
The previous sign was deemed unfashionable so, using the word "quarter", it is to be replaced with something of more American character - and thus trendier.
The proposal submitted by North East Lincolnshire Council and its partner, Engie, did not go before the planning committee for independent review.
It was determined by officers of NELC and Engie themselves under delegated powers.
A report from Engie states: "When the previous sign was removed as part of new public realm works, it was always the intention to replace it with something more in keeping with the area regeneration and something with a more contemporary feel.
"The Sea View Traders’ Association have been consulted, and they have created the design.
"It is considered that the new sign will have no negative impact on the Conservation Area as
it is an improvement to the one removed last year.
"It has been sensitively designed to respond to the locality, working with the local traders and it will provide a welcome marker for the uniqueness of the Sea View Quarter."
It adds: "This sign will further enhance the work which has already been completed in Sea View Street."
It is not not known what has happened to the previous sign.
