Just thought I'd show you our local council's idea of bringing our town into the public eye.... not quite as iconic as the US legend...............

Hollywood sign for Kent sparks anger
A council has been criticised for planning to spend £12,000 on a giant Hollywood-style white sign in Medway, Kent.
Medway Council wants to spell out the name of its district in huge white letters on the side of a hill.
Recently it spent £2,000 erecting the enormous letter 'E' from MEDWAY to get an idea of what the whole sign will look like. But engineers pulled it down after four days because the council has yet to achieve funding or planning consent.
The council is still confident it will get permission for all six letters, which will cost £12,000.
