An Ards and North Down Green politician has questioned the council spending £10,000 on signs to welcome people into Bangor, which was recently awarded city status.
At the latest Corporate Services Committee meeting at Ards and North Down Council, Bangor Central Green Councillor Stephen Dunlop questioned the price tag on changing signs in and around the new city during a cost of living crisis.
At the Committee elected representatives agreed for council officers to arrange the presentation of the letters patent and the conferment ceremony for city status, and also for officers to press ahead with designs for entrance signs to the new city. Councillors also agreed to change the name of Bangor Town Hall to “City Hall,” and to commission a report to name buildings in and around Bangor after Queen Elizabeth II.
