There were 20 responses to this week’s TeleTalk question: “Do you think the town is fairly enforcing its sign ordinance?”
I definitely think that the town is not fairly enforcing its sign ordinance. I think it’s been beneficial. and added to the appearance of the Leavitt’s Bakery. I think that the painting on Settlers Green is very appealing. Although I’m looking forward to the Market Basket coming in, I do not see the need for them to have a larger sign. People will seek that out.
