Board Ban

More signage news from and around the UK from Hants and Dorset Signs as Estate Agents face a six week wait to find out if their boards will be pulled down from sections of Brighton and Hove. Brighton and Hove City Council announced proposals to widen the area in which “for sale” and “to let” signs would be banned last year.

But following an appeal from Brighton and Hove Estate Agents Association (BHEAA), which claims its members are being victimised, a Government inspector was called in to make the final decision.

The inspector, who was appointed by the Department of Communities and Local Government, held a hearing at Hove Town Hall yesterday.

After the inquiry, it was announced that a decision could take up to 30 working days.

Phil Graves, the president of the BHEAA, said: “It has been rumbling on for years now.

“There are peoples livelihoods at stake here, not only the local estate agents, but the board suppliers and signage erectors.

“We will await with interest the decision and trust common sense will prevail.”
