Billboards will be 'ugly and obtrusive',

More signange news from Hants and Dorset Signs. As reported in the local Hampshire press this week the plans to create dozens of advertising billboards across a town will be both 'ugly and obtrusive', claim campaigners. It has been reported that Fareham council leaders hope to put up 61 signs – some as big as 10ft by 40ft – which could potentially earn the Hampshire authority around £192,000 in advertising revenue.

But local Lib Dem leader Councillor Roger Price is worried about the visual impact they will have on the town. He went onto say; "I have a majorproblem with the bigger signs – it's trying to Americanise this country. It will destroy the environment and the aesthetics of the borough and it seems as if most of them will be put up in the east of the borough – Fareham town and Portchester."

Under the plans, the signs will be dotted around the area on council-owned or leased plots. If the idea is approved, companies will be invited to bid for the rights to sell advertising space. Planning permission will also be required for each of the sites.
