Shop Signage

EDM number 1034 in 2007-08, proposed by Richard Younger-Ross on 25/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Planning and Service industries.

That this House notes the continued growth of national chains of shops, building societies and public houses in Britain's high streets; further notes that these chains generally use corporate shop fronts and signage; believes that such standard formats are driving out individuality in our town centres and creating a homogeneised high street; and calls upon the Government to issue regulations to strengthen the powers of local authorities who wish to insist that shop fronts and signage should reflect the nature and character of the building.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
