They should be representative of their town and something residents could be proud of, she said. Through a process of community discussions and consultation, taglines and a preferred image had been confirmed for most of the small towns in Marlborough. This included Seddon, Havelock, Renwick, Picton, Wairau Valley and Rai Valley. Work was underway with Canvastown, Ward and Spring Creek. The council was expecting to spend $228,000, including landscaping and plantings, across the 17 sites in the gateways project. Once the taglines, and an image, had been confirmed, each town would have at least two entry signs. Designs would be completed over the next few months, James said. They would have a similar “look and feel” to the gateway signs already in place.
