Sponsorship packages start from £1800 per annum + VAT (equivalent to just £5 per day to reach an average audience of 16,000 daily motorists).

Prices include the annual sponsorship rate for all the signage panels on an individual roundabout; the manufacture and installation of the signage, and ongoing maintenance of the sponsored signage and roundabout.

The scheme only covers the roads the county council is responsible for, and does not include any of the roundabouts on the trunk roads running through the county (the A31 and the A35 from Bere Regis to the Devon border), which are the responsibility of the Highways Agency, who do not promote advertising on their network.
