Clamp down on A-board on Kings Heath High Street begins

I've just given the go ahead to start removing the A-boards from Kings Heath High Street. It is anticipated this will begin in the coming days/weeks

The A-boards along the pavement of Kings Heath High Street have reached numbers where they are both an eyesore and an obstruction to pedestrians. We waited until after the Christmas period so as not to affect any traders trade in that important period.

We think this will be the first time that the City Council has tried mass culling of A-boards. Removing them involves completely different legislation to that used for removing placards or flyposters.
