A Board Advertising

 

 

Many small businesses with a presence in or near the town centre need to make themselves “visible” to potential clients. One of the most cost effective ways of doing this is through the use of A Boards. They do work and that is one of the reason s why there are so many of them.

 

 

However many are now under the threat of being banned because Council’s say they are a Health and Safety risk for pedestrians.

 

 

This is a difficult one and I can see both sides of the argument. But is a blanket ban really the way forward? Or should small businesses be able to put whatever they like on our pavements? Or is there a third alternative whereby businesses could register for an A Board so that it conforms to Health and Safety guidelines (e.g. size and siting)?

 

 

Are you a small business owner that has been affected by this? Or are you a pedestrian that has had an accident because of an A Board? Tell us what you think…..
