Tougher Signage

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as the town of Amhest, Nova Scotia is not going to allow a local businessman to cover the front of his property with advertising signage. Warren Chapman had requested an amendment to the town’s land-use bylaw that would have allowed him to cover the face of his building at 8 Croft St. (the former bridge workshop) with advertising.

The planning advisory committee considered the request, but recommended the town not give first reading to a bylaw amendment.

In his report to the planning advisory committee, planner Andrew Fisher said: “The land-use bylaw sign provisions are a balance between allowing businesses to effectively advertise the location of their operation, and maintaining a level of aesthetic control in the community.”
When he appeared before the committee, Chapman said the bylaw is not fair and is not being enforced evenly throughout the town.
He also said it’s in contravention of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms while pointing out his signs help many small businesses advertise at an affordable price.
