The Hollywood Sign
The Hollywood sign overlooking the village is temporary and maintained by local volunteers. The sign has proven to be a popular tourist attraction and well-liked by the local community. For these reasons, the Hollywood Community Forum is working hard on developing a new Hollywood sign to adorn our hills and has received planning permission for a robust permanent sign. We are currently working through the various legal and financial issues to get the sign made and erected. If you have any enquiries, please email us at hollywoodcommunityforum1@gmail.com
