New tourism signs promote the district’s largest market towns

The signs more accurately reflect what is on offer in the Harborough district’s two largest market towns, encouraging passing visitors to stop off and use facilities and services.

Highways directional signs at several locations near these towns have also been updated and refreshed.

These improvements have been carried out by Harborough District Council in a bid to improve tourism and maintain pride of places in the Harborough district.

Cllr Jo Asher, Cabinet lead for Culture, Leisure, Economy and Tourism, said: “We are pleased to work with Leicestershire Highways Authority to improve the signage. Our two market towns are really worthwhile places to visit and experience, plus there’s plenty of choices of great places to eat, drink and stay over. Supporting the vibrancy of our town centres to boost the local economy is an important priority of ours.”
