A North-East company has helped signpost the way for walkers and cyclists in the centre of Lancaster.

William Smith, based in Barnard Castle, was chosen by Lancaster City Council when signs were needed for a walking and cycle route following the building of a bridge in the city centre.

The Millennium Bridge was a Millennium Commission project and the walking and cycle route leads to Lancaster station and the city's major cycle path.

The four fingerpost signs, each with three arms, are at each end of the new bridge.

"Lancaster has an extensive cycle route, but it is currently very poorly signed," said City of Lancaster project planner Jason Kennedy.

"We looked at available signage and saw the units that had been installed in Manchester city centre. We decided to use these as a trial and feedback from both councillors and the general public has been very good."
