NB. As from 1st January 2015, the Police are no longer erecting our street signs. It is now the responsibility of the Scheme Coordinator.
All NHW Street Signs should have permission to be erected from the relevant authorities: these include BT and North Somerset Council (Streetlighting), as well as advising the Council Planning Dept.
Note: Electricity Company (Western Power) may not give permission for any sign to be erected on their poles - any existing signs will not be replaced without permission.
New or Replacement NHW signs will continue to be supplied by the Nailsea NHW.
For guidance on how to obtain permission to erect a new sign or to determine whether an existing sign has permission to be replaced please use the Contact Us option.
Signs should be attached to lampposts at a minimum height of 2.2 metres (7ft) on a normal highway footpath, or a minimum height of 2.4 metres (7ft 11") on a Cycle Way.
