New What3Word Signage all around Houlton!
What3words is a geocode system that assigns a unique combination of three words to every three metre square of the entire world.
Across our development, we have introduced 29 specially-designed signs have been attached to gates and fences so people can see the What3words for that location. Locations include sites where defibrillators have been placed by local charity the OurJay Foundation, making it easy to find one in an emergency.
Sonia Nakra-Norman, Communications & Partnerships Manager at Urban&Civic, said: “Placemaking is at the heart of what we do and we’re proud of the work we’ve done to ensure Houlton is easy to navigate, both for people who live there and those who visit.
“However, we wanted to take things one step further and ensure anyone who wants to pinpoint their location can do so easily - whether it’s to meet a friend, find a defibrillator, or give their location to emergency services in the event of an accident."
