I agree Cyfr £20,000 does not sound like much in the ultimate scheme of things but do you seriously believe that ALL of the rebranding can be done for a mere £20,000? Ah to be so young and gullible.

I'm not after a job with gallup and the wording was intended to be a little tongue in cheek as anyone who has read my comments on the other thread will know that I think the money would be better directed where needed.
I thought I'd bring out that point though as I very much doubt that the council has offered any serious financial information apart from the ludicrously paltry figure of £20,000 which has been set aside before asking people if they fancy a name change. Perhaps if people realised the full impact not only on the council signs, lables, vehicles, stationery, buildings, etc but also the knock-on effect on others it may give them cause to rethink.
