New Signpost Erected In Lloyd Mann Gardens

Home Hill's beloved Lloyd Mann Gardens, a known tourist hotspot, just became a little brighter and a lot more handy following the erection of a new signpost this month.

The locally manufactured signpost, which cost the Home Hill Chamber of Commerce just shy of $2000 to construct and install, boasts five arrowed signs, each pointing in the geographic direction of a different Home Hill point of interest.

Home Hill Chamber secretary Rob Antoniazzi said the idea behind the project stemmed from a practical need.

"Tourists would often ask 'do you know if there's a bakery around?' or 'do you know where the hospital is?', so we thought 'why not put up a sign?'" he said.

Antoniazzi said the signpost is as aesthetically pleasing as it is convenient.

"It's colourful, it stands out, and it really adds to the aesthetics of the park," he said. "We've already had a lot of positive comments on it."

The new signpost is a small addition that makes a big difference for both locals and visitors.
