Dear Mr Peeke You will be aware that in my original email to Hedon Town Council in November 2008 and the article on the Hedon Blog, I never requested the Preston sign be removed. I asked that a sign saying? Leading to the Historic Town of Hedon? be place near to or adjacent to the Preston sign, therefore serving both councils and parishioners wishes. The original request was to assist visitors and aid direction into Hedon.

I refer to my previous message of 29 Dec 2009 regarding the above. Following further discussions with the Preston Parish Council and a local ward Councillor it has become apparent that there is strong feeling with local residents who clearly wish to retain their identity with the parish of Preston and hence they are opposed to a Hedon sign being installed outside the Kingstown Hotel. The existing Preston South signs are more akin to village nameplates and I have suggested to the Preston Parish Council that these should be removed and Parish name boards installed similar to those on the approaches into Preston. I am currently awaiting feedback re. this suggestion and I will inform you of the outcome in due course. Regards Mike Peeke

Response received with thanks from the East Riding Council. I refer to your messages regarding the above. Please accept my apologies for the delay in this reply. You may be aware the western end of the town of Hedon (from Farrand Road westwards) actually lies within the parish of Preston and hence the Preston South sign was erected some years ago. As you state this sign appears to be causing some confusion for motorists who are not familiar with the area and to address this we will arrange for the sign to be removed and for a Hedon nameplate to be erected. Due to the manufacturing procedure there will be some delay before the work is completed however I would hope that the new sign will be installed within the next 8-10 weeks. I trust that the above information will be of assistance. Regards Mike Peeke
