Exisring advtbents and signs ofd tgpes
displayedin the A m wilIbe thesubject of
special consideratioa It is hoped that with the
co-opemtion of local businesses the number of

ConsemuonArea can be minimised.
In the Department's view Conservation should
involve the whole commdty. The p&icipa.tion
of activepoups, similar to the recently f o d
CrescentAssociation, would therefore be
~ c o and~encouraged.Private d
initiatives
datingto al:matrers affectingthe character and
amenity of @dm locations would also be
welcomed.
The question of h c e is dealt with more fully
in Appendix Il. The Department may consider
certain schemes by mhidividual pmpexq owner
or by professiod consultants as suitabk for
financial support under the ternsof the Urban
Development Grant Scheme.
