Gary Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Most people seem in favour of the coat of arms - which will be retained for civic. All been a bit of a mountain out of a mole hill - apparently even been reported in the national press! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Small consolation if MOST people want to keep the coat of arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 57 per cent prefer the original coat of arms - the council's final decision will be rubber stamped on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kateoflymm Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 The new logo looks like a supermarket sign - or the label for a tin of baked beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely to agree with the 57%, think it's a done deal. C'est la vie. Think you are right there Paul... Noticed in yesterdays 'other' paper that the council new logo was already being used on an advert so Mondays meeting is just a formality... Sounds like Monday will be a busy day all round for various rubber stamping and other twaddle that people don't get any say on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Well the bins are still getting emptied; streets being cleaned etc etc: so I guess life as we know it hasn't entirely ended - think we'll get over it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egbert Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Apparently the new logo will SAVE ?30,000 a year, so perhaps it is not so daft after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah; but as long as the service carries on being provided, I think we can survive a naff logo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Perhaps Pierre, your taking yourself too seriously? The pompous new Lab Plebs have gone off on one over this stupid issue of a logo; meanwhile not a dicky bird when service levels are actually being cut.

Peter T Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I just feel that further dumbing down by our leaders is unnecessary. The new logo is an industrial one, NOT one that is befitting of a go-ahead council. What is the point of (as you rightly say) the agitators getting in touch with the public, when all they are doing is what they have done for years. Behave in a negative manner and try to score brownie points. Since when did Labour care what the public wanted? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I'm merely saying, there are more important issues - like the maintainance of basic services; which some "out of control" Officers are messing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Actually I still think it has more to do with some Members making life "difficult" for senior officers, and following the lead of the Member of Parliament for Warrington North. The Council coat of arms just happened to be a convenient issue. The outcome in situations like this is that senior officers brush up their CVs, indicate that the Members wouldn't let them get on with their job and move to a higher paid job elsewhere....or depending on their age take early retirement on a generous pension. Given that these things happen with regularity, makes you think that the structure of the management of a local authority needs looking at, vis-a-vis members, officers. Do local authorities with an elected Mayor also have a Chief Executive. corrected the transposed "elected" and "an" [ 26.05.2007, 21:12: Message edited by: Paul Kennedy ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I personally dont think we should lose the logo but I also agree that there are far more important issues going as. So will I sign the petition... 'yes if i come across it'.. any idea how people actually sign it? And will it make any difference? 'NO' as the council definatley do NOT take petitions seriously and Labour should know that !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Can someone please tell me why people are still banging the drum about this - the crest is staying and the new logo is also being used where appropriate. What is the problem! :sleeping: Shouldn't the former Labour councillors be asking why they were asleep when the consultation process on the crest, which they started, took place at the town hall.

Paul Kennedy Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Seems as though Logos are quite emotive subjects. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article2617459.ece [ 06.06.2007, 08:39: Message edited by: Paul Kennedy ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
