The Marcia is due to re-open shortly (see story below) and the outside has been given a facelift. Planning consent has been applied for by Punch Taverns for illuminated signs on the front and gable end walls. Work has been completed on these despite the fact that planning approval or otherwise is pending. According to the Council's planning website the target for completion of the proces is today.
Having seen the amount of illumination in an area that is specially protected by conservation area status, you may want to send in comments or objections to the lighting and signs, despite the fact that the expiry date is supposed to be 29 November. As the application was received on 6th November you may also feel 23 days is rather less than is normally allowed for planning consents.
In any event, if you want to make comments, you can do so online here, and the responsible officer at the Council will no doubt be able to read them on Monday.
