A decision is due on plans to refurbish the entrances of a major Romford shopping centre.
The Liberty is set for a £7 million transformation, with four planning applications submitted to Havering Council in June for fresh signs and digital screens at its entrances.
Two of these applications (A0016.24 and P0791.24), for the main entrance in South Street, were approved with conditions in August.
However, a further two applications (A0018.24 and P0798.24) - focused around The Liberty's other entrances and car park entrance - had their decision date pushed back from August to October 10.
These plans include the installation of illuminated and non-illuminated signs at entrances two, three, five, six and nine of the shopping centre, as well as at the car park side.
One of the applications also includes planned new entrance doors at entrances two, five, six and nine.

Entrances two and six of The Liberty shopping centre fall within the Romford Conservation Area, however a heritage statement prepared on behalf of the centre's operating company Redical said that this area will be "preserved".
It said: "Refresh and renovation of all proposed areas to the Liberty site will improve the condition and appearance of structures in the context of modern retail/commercial development, maintaining the character and appearance of the conservation area."
The entrance renovation plans are part of a multi-year £7million improvement budget from Redical.
