We reiterate our disappointment in the proposal for the replacement ‘post’ sign, which currently enhances the character of the institution as well as the street scene, with its attractive representation of the eponymous fish. The proposed replacement is boring and generic in simply using text, and would do nothing to preserve and enhance to local character. Consent to the replacement of this sign should be withheld.
