A-BOARDS versus pavement trip hazards. What’s the priority?
Over the last few weeks, I have seen debate over the fact that City of York Council are planning to ban A-frame advertising boards.
I also note two letters from readers who have fallen due to uneven footpath surfaces (The Press, September 15).
I think City of York Council should revisit this and decide what is the priority.
When I walk to town along Haxby Road, Clarence Street and Gillygate, without a doubt the poor state of the pavements are a far greater hazard than the boards.
I suspect most other routes are as well.
Oh, I forgot, repairing footpaths for the citizens costs money.
Whereas hitting local businesses by banning the A-frames doesn’t.
