Something we can all do, if we hate these signs, is write to Greene King and tell them, so we urge our readers to do so. Please share your views with Rooney Anand, Chief Executive, Greene King plc, Westgate Brewery, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 1QT.
We sadly live in an age where the blandly corporate increasingly triumphs over the
individualistic. A small but significant example of this can be found outside many
Greene King pubs, where the original pub sign, usually with a picture related to the
name of the pub, has been replaced by the deeply boring standardised GK sign
comprising just the brewery logo and the pub name.
CAMRA will be taking this up with the local planning authorities. For Listed buildings,
consent is needed to change signs and we'll be checking that this has been obtained.
With other buildings, the controls are less stringent but action using the
Advertisement Consent Regulations may be possible, especially if the Council is
sympathetic.
