DESIGN students from the University of Worcester have come up with new signs for a town in the county.

The Mayor of Tenbury Wells has praised the students' great ideas after they were tasked with designing new wayfinding signage for the town.

Designs were narrowed down by the town’s councillors, before being put on public display in the council’s Pump Rooms, where anonymous feedback from residents was invited.

There were a number of positive responses and the town’s Mayor Councillor Mark Willis said he was delighted with the standard of the work.

Cllr Willis said: “The work done by the all of the students from Worcester has really given the council a head start with some great ideas."

The council decided to award a small prize to the design most favoured in the public consultations, which went to Jess Matthews, pictured.

Some of the students' designs are being used to create new roadside banners to highlight the town’s appeal to drivers passing by on the A456.

The student designs will now go through a process of further refinement and the town council are looking at ways of funding to be able to move ahead further with the project.
