Traders are hitting back at the Council’s blanket ban on board advertising.
They have added an E petition to the Council’s web site. Click here to access it
The petition reads
“Sense on A-boards
We the undersigned petition the council to not proceed with a blanket ban on the use of A-boards as recommended by the Council’s Community Safety Overview & Scrutiny Committee. A-boards are most commonly used by businesses to advertise their services. Whilst it is recognised that it is necessary to clamp down on those that are dangerous, the council should acknowledge that the overwhelming majority are safe and sensible, and vital for local businesses and to support York’s economy. We therefore call on the Council to have a sensible policy on A-boards, rather than issuing a blanket ban.
The petition is to ask for the council to implement a sensible policy on A-boards rather than a draconian zero tolerance policy”.
