Bexley now with new sponsor

Went out for a lunch time walk from work a few days ago and spotted this sign. It is part of a new series of signs that have gone up around the borough.

When I first saw it I have to admit I thought there was something a bit wrong with having it like this, kind of saying, "Welcome to Bexleyheath, sponsored by Bexletts" but after a little while I thought why not? If it is at all possible, why should each council service not be self funding?

Maybe we could take it to the next step and sell the naming rights to the town hall - the Crawley "Coke" Hall or maybe we shouldn't stop there, maybe it is time to change the signs to "Now entering McDonald's Town, formerly known as Crawley" well perhaps that is a bit far, and could get confusing if we were sponsored by Halifax.

Bexley Council's New Sign

Out on my lunchtime walk in Bexleyheath I noticed that Bexley Coucil had installed a new road sign, however they have made one slight error, the new sign is only viewable from one point standing on the grass, otherwise it is completely blocked from view by the old sign.

I don't know for sure but I would guess if you ask the council you would probably be told that there were different departments for the two different tasks.
