Bylaws To Be Drawn Up Against Roadside Advertising

Bylaws are being drawn up Cork County Council to tackle roadside advertising of cars for sale and unapproved advertising hoardings.

Under the proposed bylaws, council staff will be able to impose financial penalties on offenders.

The council is also reserving the right to remove any cars for sale and trailer advertising without prior warning if officials believe they are a risk to the safety of road users.

Any item not reclaimed within the six-week limit will be disposed of by the local authority.

Council chief executive Tim Lucey is to examine the committee’s recommendations and report back any observations before the bylaws are finalised.
