Bit of a moan incoming (sorry) but I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this on my way to the shop this morning 🙃

Here's what I've tried so far to get our name on this bloomin sign to show our business is open;

- Attended the in person meeting held in August about the development and asked specifically about signage.
- Sent 5 emails to follow up asking about the signage (all unanswered of course).
- Commented on Facebook posts showing we aren't on the list, asking someone to contact me as they don't reply to emails. No one contacted me.
- Directly replied on a Facebook post asking for a list of businesses who want to be on this very sign.

As Mariah Carey would say:

🎶' All I want for Christmas is you Cumberland Council TO INCLUDE ME ON THIS SIGN'🎶
