Council workmen replace misspelt signs in Braidwood’s Hallbar Gardens
The intervention came following a report in last week’s Gazette outlining villagers’ astonishment that two signs erected by council workers in the street on Friday, February 1, had the incorrect spelling, ‘Hall Barr Gardens’.
A 45-year-old local woman told us that wasting money on “stupid things” like the signs hadn’t portrayed the council in the best light; hundreds of Braidwood Primary pupils walk past the signs every day so they had hardly represented the ethos of teaching pupils the importance of spelling correctly.
