Bothered by ‘ugly’ billboards

EDITOR, The Tribune.

MORE UGLINESS! Boy we seem to like ugly!

In the age where social media - selling is driven with the virtual sole use of Internet why then we see seemingly hundreds of sheets of plywood in billboards being erected on every high visibility road.

Airport Road...opposite Police Station probably a four-six plywood sheet billboard for a Real Estate Co. in the median…but first but watch out plenty will follow. Where there should be bushes of flowering plants. Billboards!

Love Beach off the road both cable Cos have billboards...ugly a location where there should be any.

The link road off Airport Road to West Ridge BTC has a big billboard…through Cable Beach after Super Value Shopping Center the billboards seem to grow every week. The Real Estate Co with the four-six or more plywood sheets on Airport Road…has theirs there erected last week.

Why is the relative authority licensing these billboards? We should be beautifying not doing the opposite but then we seem to like...UGLINESS!

It used to be that the erecting of billboards permissions were applied for and granted for a specific amount of time and then had to be removed. Today they are an ugly cancer on the beauty and character of out country. Please get rid of all of them.
