Wellington Heath Parish Council 2021 - "The existing signs were in urgent need of repair but in fact once taken down it was realised they were beyond repair. I have attached a photo of the new signs which were completed by a local artist and are in keeping with our village aspects. These are now fully completed and back in place on the above approaches. We thank you for your contribution towards the costs of doing this work." - Wellington Heath Parish Council
