Eyesore-For sale signage

At the moment we have 6 estate agent signs on the corner of Middlewood road and Middlewood Drive

Many local councils restrict the number of estate agency signs in anyone place I wonder if our council might consider something similar

They should do.

It looks a mess.

The agents just have permanent boards up in crookes / Broomhill. Should just make a rule that unless property is available at that time you can’t have a board up.

First world problems!

If you want to dicuss third world problems you need a different forum. Or just post that same reply on every thread.....

Don't be daft, he was just trivialising a trivial type of moan.

To be honest there is more concerning things to be worried about! Knife crime, burglary and social care just to.name a few!

Same logic as " third world problems".

The signs are a blot on the landscape so good for OP to raise as an issue...having less of them won't save the world but might make it a nicer place for some. And aren't Estate Agents always the bad guys anyway.

"The signs are a blot on the landscape" - fits the broken windows theory?

Perhaps a step too far?

Granma.

There are doubtless bigger issues in the world.

Estate agents cluttering streets with a variety of different coloured advertisement boards to save their own time and money in order to make personal profit doesn’t have to be accepted as a consequence though does it.

Does anyone have a genuine reason why this should be allowed to happen or just going to turn it into a discussion about the third world?

Yes. I think so. The estate agent signs being complianed about seem a sign of affluence rather than deprivation.

They do, it just needs someone to report it. As it's the public highway there shouldn't be any so if you're really bothered then a simple 'phone call will get it sorted.
