Fighting the billboard ban

Great to see so many Aucklanders fighting the proposed draconian billboard ban in Auckland. One Cr, Graeme Mulholland, has resigned in protest off the hearing panel because the Chair, Glenda Fryer, refuses to recuse herself.

I had to laugh upon reading that the only submitters in favour of the ban on day one were two community boards – both controlled by City Vision.

Also one has to appreciate the research done by Mark Venter who finds that the Auckland City Council itself has more advertising space on Queen Street than commercial billboards.
