1. Do you currently permit lamppost banners in order to communicate Council messages?
If so, which organisation provides these for you?
Are you in and exclusive deal with them?
What length of contract and expiry date?
Did you go to tender?
What do you currently pay, per banner for the print and installation?
We do allow banners in suitable locations, but not necessarily to communicate council messages. For instance, the Womens Rugby World Cup will be utilising some banners in the Sandy Park area. Various banner suppliers could be used, but they must first meet the specifications laid out in the street lighting contract to ensure columns are suitable and not overloaded.
