Banques board ban under attack
Tuesday 15th April 2008, 11:00AM BST.
ANOTHER business owner has criticised Environment’s decision to ban A-boards along Les Banques.
Tim Chandler (pictured), of Piccolo Morso, received no warning before department employees removed his sign from the grass along the seafront and brought it into his shop.
‘It’s ridiculous that they felt it was so high-priority that they had to send somebody round to deal with it. I remember seeing boards there 40 years ago advertising the go-karting, so I don’t understand why they’ve suddenly decided to do anything about it now,’ said Mr Chandler, who opened his sandwich shop about five weeks ago.
‘I’d only just bought a new A-board and spent a couple of hundred quid on it, too. It’s a shame because they do catch people’s attention – and some people are allowed them on the Bridge and in Town.’

I think A-boards are a great, even charismatic form of advertisement and if anything, local businesses should be encouraged to use them as often they add a character to the scenery.
I would never like to see huge bill boards on Guernsey but A-boards, in my opinion, are more enigmatic and therefore infinately more effective in keeping local businesses alive.
