B. An alternative standard, which allows up to two A boards per premises, can be adopted for a town or parish council area, subject to appropriate local consultation and agreement;
C. To approve the criteria and guidance for the use of A boards, in Appendix A.
As per the recommendations above.
SUMMARY
A Boards were stand alone advertising boards often located on the pavement outside of shops in our town centres. This report brought together evidence from the recent A board pilot in Bridgnorth and Ludlow, and requested approval for the resultant policy.
