Have your say! New street signs for Caernarfon

Gwynedd Council in partnership with the Welsh Assembly Government and CADW (the historic environment service of the Welsh Assembly Government) have commissioned an Integrated Pedestrian Signage and Branding Strategy for Caernarfon.

A range of concept designs have been developed for public comment and will be on display at the following venues during this week and next :

Capel y Maes (Castle Square Presbyterian Church)

• Wednesday, 12 September (12:00 – 16:00)
• Thursday, 13 September (10:00 – 16:00)
• Friday, 14 September (10:00 – 15:00)

Gwynedd Council Headquarters’ (Shirehall Street) - Main Reception

• Monday 17^th and Tuesday 18^th of September (all day)

Come along and tell us what you think!

The resulting new street signs will greatly improve Caernarfon’s visitor information, helping to make the town easier and more enjoyable to visit. Crucially, the street signs will encourage visitors to explore between Victoria Dock and the Castle, Slate Quay and y Maes.  It is hoped this will encourage the visitors to stay longer and spend more in Caernarfon’s many shops and cafés.

As well as the new fingerposts and information panels, the designers have developed some ideas for possible logos to be used to market Caernarfon using a universal brand which is recognisable and consistent on a wide rage of publicity material.

If any budding artists have their own designs please bring them along and we will add them to the display.
