Advertising Boards

It is an offence under the Highways Act 1980 to wilfully obstruct the highway by placing advertising/sign boards on the highway without permission.

A-Boards includes Estate Agent, For Sale signs and shops advertising goods.

All A-Boards must be positioned on private land. If the area is proved to be private land, but is paved for which the public have access, then an offence is being committed if an A-Board is there and causing an obstruction of the highway.

A-Boards should be positioned against the property and not causing an obstruction of the highway.

Please refer all A-Board complaints to the Town Centre Manager until the North Hertfordshire District Council's policy is in place.
