Stylos fingerposts specified to point the way
When civil engineering company Barhale
Construction plc was contracted to build and develop a new stretch of Greenway, their client, Cheshire West and
Chester Council, specified stylos fingerpost units from William Smith for the wayfinding signage.
The shared pedestrian, cycle and equestrian pathway was constructed along a 3KM length of an old railway corridor to create a traffic-free route from Mickle Trafford to Guilden Sutton, to link up with the existing Chester Millennium Greenway.
“Both William Smith and the Stylos finger post system were specified by our client to ensure that the signs matched with previous installations across Cheshire cycleways,” explains Barhale’s Site Agent Alan Phillips.

The three-armed Stylos units supplied by William Smith were stove enamelled dark green with white text applied to both sides of the arms, to meet the regulatory style of Greenway signs. Blue pedestrian signs were also supplied.
“William Smith was a new supplier to us and we found the quality of their product and service very good,” continues Mr. Phillips. “Within the four to five week lead time, in addition to the five main Greenway signs and 16 blue pedestrian signs that were originally ordered, they produced two additional signs that were required, and everything was delivered on time.”
Designed to point in up to eight different directions, Stylos fingerposts from William Smith can be supplied as complete units or in component form.

Engineering grade polyurethane cast covers a steel core, maintaining the aesthetic and strength benefits of a cast iron bollard. The non-ferrous, non-rusting surface requires very low maintenance and the low residual value makes polymer bollards unattractive to thieves.
Jonathan Goss, Managing Director of Townscape Products, says more and more councils are choosing polymer over cast iron and steel.
“We estimate polymer bollards to be five times more cost effective than cast iron. With comparative purchase pricing per bollard it is no surprise polymer bollards are a preferred solution for councils looking to save money.”
Leicester City Council has recently changed its bollard specification to polymer. Purchasing manager, Kanti
Varia, explains: “Townscape made an exact polymer copy of the Leicester bollard weighing only 22kg which can be safely lifted by one person.
“Our image is very important to us and Townscape’s polymer bollards are effectively maintenance-free, saving us time and money.”
