Great Yarmouth was named one of the UK's woprts seaside towns (Image: Getty) A bid to put up a giant Hollywood-style sign spelling the name of a seaside town - next to a resort that was once dubbed one of the worst in the UK - has been shelved after neighbours labelled it a "waste of taxpayers' money". Great Yarmouth Borough Council was seeking permission to install the sign at the Pier Gardens seafront, in Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk - which neighbours Great Yarmouth, a seaside town that was named the sixth worst in the UK by Which in 2023. Great Yarmouth already has a similar sign, as does Hemsby - another seaside town a few miles to the north.
The sign would have been made from nine six-metre heavy-duty galvanised steel columns supporting illuminated letters that spelled out 'GORLESTON'. They would have been lit up during the summer season from dusk until midnight. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
