FIRST it was browny orange, then it was grey, now the Beaufort Street sign has a new pastel skin.

The Voice returned to nearby workers Emma Sim and Claire Whitecross from Envy Beautician for an updated opinion on the new paintjob.

They’d called the last design “hideous” and said it had been attracting a lot of talk among locals “but not in a positive way”. This one they give two thumbs up.

Ms Whitecross had said at the time that the sign should be more colourful to fit in with the other bright murals in the area, and she’s happy to see more colour in the work.

Leederville council critic Debbie Saunders again asked the council how much the year-long saga has cost ratepayers, after the council fell out with original contractor Bremick. Mayor John Carey says with the work being finished the final figures will soon be available.
