Telephone 623-0323 Dear Editor, In a recent article in The Statesman, it was stated that the Town of Newcastle intended to have developers remove their unsightly signs from public property. A drive around town will reveal a startling array of signs advertising various subdivisions. This gives the Town of Bowmanville a tacky look. Are the developers paying paying rent, or are these signs, in fact, going to be removed? We have always thought Bowmanville was a beautiful beautiful town, but with the present construction causing dirt and dust, along with the loss of green belts and the presence of advertising bulletins, the appearance of Bowmanville is a disgrace. Come on, town council, let's clean up our act! Kathy and David L.
