Promotional street banners scheme explored

* The A5 could get promotional banners either side of the lights.

Llangollen Chamber of Trade and Tourism has been checking out the cost of installing promotional banners in the town centre.

Chair John Palmer told members at their meeting at the Hand Hotel on Monday night that his initial research had shown it would cost an estimated £2,500 to site the banners, hanging from poles and bearing a welcome message to potential tourists, either side of the lights on the A5 and in Castle Street.

He also reckoned there could be around a £1,000 contribution towards the cost of the project.

Mr Palmer said the chamber would retain ownership of the banners and about 20 of them would be needed.

The chamber is now looking further into the scheme and coming up with ideas for the design to be carried on the banners.
