Once again well done Oakham in Bloom another grand job done but why do we have to have these awful signs that detract from your good work. The leader of Rutlland County Council has stated publicly there are to many signs in the county probably one of the few things I agree with.

I see clearly this sign contains a memorial for two local residents, I am don't disrespecting their memory. I am sure this will be said. I have been critical of these signs since you spoilt the work along Burley Road with Kitchen adverts that you need to stand in the road to read.

a small sign on the wall may have been more appropriate.

I wonder why you need planning permission for a temporary banner and no such planning permission for this type of permanent sign. Each year I like to photograph the Boat at Stamford Road I have not done so this year because Discover Rutland Sign is blocking the shot.
