About three years ago the topic came up for discussion at a couple of GLERA meetings. There were a number of ideas put forward to the then Chairman.

After much heated debate (mostly with the Chairman) I don't think anything happened.

Rather a shame.

Tim - rather slow to this but I think new signage would be a huge improvement (has long been a bugbear of mine - new signs appear indiscriminately and superseded ones hang around far too long). Would be really happy to help put together a proposal for this.

I would support the rationalisation of the signage. The original signage and direction signage was distinctive and excellent; almost  everything that has been added since, (including the massive CoL crests) detracts from the architecture. I really like what they did with the signage at the Spa Green Estate nearby in St John's Street which took the spirit and colouring of Lubetkin's plans as a starting point. I attach a screenshot. They managed to condense numerous disparate signs into just a few well-designed points which has enhanced appreciation of the estate.
