Football club's signs could be at risk

Councillors, who will be taking to Zoom again due to Covid-19, are being recommended to refuse it.

The signs have been there since 2018, in a bid to generate additional sponsorship income, and the club says it was unaware that advertising consent was needed.

The borough council received six objections to the hoardings, including claims they were in ‘bright colours’ and that there were ‘too many of them’.
