Save Our A Signs

More signage news from in and around the UK from Hants and Dorset Signs as traders and businesses in Henley are calling on the town council not to ban advertising boards. They claim the move could put shops out of business and have started a petition against it. More than 40 businesses, including restaurants, pubs, shops and art galleries, use the signs to attract customers.

But councillors have said they turn the streets into an “obstacle course” for disabled people and those with impaired vision. The council, which has the power to ban the signs and remove them, will decide at a meeting on Tuesday whether to impose an enforcement strategy on businesses.

Ian Blandford, owner of Gabriel Machins butchers in Market Place, said: “We use our board to promote special offers, what’s in season and the best prices. We also use it as a public information board.

“We do not put it in the middle of the pavement, it is always to one side. We are not obstructing anyone. Some shops aren’t considerate about where they put their boards. The council needs to talk to those shops rather than having one rule for all. It should be sensible about it.”
