"In response to the negative comments about the 'black windows' please could you reserve judgement until the works are completed? What you are commenting on is a first undercoat. The photo below is what we have planning permission for - the conservation officer specifically asked that we use the RAL colour akin to the original shop in 1915. The same for the signage. When the outside has been stripped and the new clear glazing is in, with the new signage, the aim is for the shop to look like it did originally ala the image attached. Appreciate we cant please everybody but please can we try and keep things positive and supportive. We are doing are very best to secure the shops future and hopefully when it is completed we can get some encouraging and constructive comments 👍
