Estate agents Polishes up its to-let signs

A real sign of the times has appeared in an East Lancashire street.

A letting agent has put up a to-let sign outside a property in Darwen written purely in Polish.

Bury-based letting agents GNL Property Management put up the signs which read: "Mieszkania do wynajecia dla kazdego na kazda kieszen. Mowimy po polsku" - which roughly translates to "House to let for everybody. We speak Polish."



Managing director of the firm, Graham Lightbown, said that Polish people were being taken advantage of by some landlords.

So he said he decided to create Polish-only signs after discovering the English language was a huge barrier for those with little or no English.
