Members of Whitmore Reans Connect were joined by Wolverhampton Council officials and well-wishers at the Avion Centre in Whitmore Reans for the official unveiling of two new street welcome signs.

The signs, which appear at the two road entrances to the shopping area, say "Welcome to Whitmore Reans" and feature art work by children for a number of local schools.

Councillors Roger Lawrence and Lynne Moran attended the unveiling, along with members of SS Peter and Paul Catholic Academy, one of the three schools chosen to produce the signs.

There will be four signs in total, with further signs being erected on Hordern Road and Dunstall Road.

The signs were designed by school children and selected from an art competition
