"The proposed displays are operated and regulated remotely, removing the need for frequent site visits. What this means in reality is that there are no regular visits by poster vans.”
Alight Media say the signs can also be used to convey emergency public information, such as Covid health updates.
The report concludes: “We believe advertising at this site will not undermine the character and setting of the area, or pose any public safety concerns.”
