Works with Fulham Society to banish advertising eyesores in Munster Road

Hammersmith & Fulham Council says it is working with local residents to crack down on illegal advertising hoardings on residences across the borough.

In Fulham, the council tackled a range of advertising hoardings put up without prior consents in Munster Road, with the backing of the Fulham Society.

It saw the removal of large advertisement hoardings displayed at a high level on residences at numbers 213, 225, 236, 239, 253 and 255.

In Shepherd's Bush it banished a number of large illuminated advertising boards in Uxbridge and Goldhawk Roads with the support of local resident-led groups such as the Hammersmith Society and Hammersmith & Fulham Historic Buildings Group.

 

 

Nicolas Fernley of the Hammersmith & Fulham Historic Buildings Group said: "We are delighted with the results. We support the action the council is taking to rid our streets of these eyesores and we will continue to do so in the future."

"It sends out a clear message to advertisers and property owners that we expect them to follow the rules," said Cllr Wesley Harcourt, H&F Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport & Residents' Services.

The offending advertising hoardings were displayed at a high level on residential properties and were deemed to have been put up without proper consent.
