Mr Evans said the signs would arrive in time for Easter, but refused to be drawn on what they would show.

It was reported last month that the city had ditched its £53,250 slogan Positively Plymouth two years after it was created by a marketing company.

The Positively Plymouth brand was launched in May 2010 after a project funded by Plymouth City Council and the Plymouth City Development Company.

At the time the CDC said Positively Plymouth had a "long term future".

The CDC folded that year but handed over responsibility to Destination Plymouth who continued to use the brand.
