We are pleased to report that the six-a-side football poster boards that had been put up on council property, without permission, have been removed from a number of sites in the Dringhouses & Woodthorpe ward – Chaloners Road, Thanet Road and Tadcaster Road.

Direct action has taken care of these tacky posters

Local residents have raised complaints with local Lib Dem councillor Stephen Fenton about posters which have been erected – presumably without permission – on council property across Dringhouses. Two have appeared on Chaloners Road and one on Thanet Road on the Hob Moor fence.

The posters advertise a six-a-side football competition which takes place on Monday evenings at the Burnholme sports pitches in Heworth.

Stephen has asked council officers to take steps to have the posters removed.
