WHEN I see press reports on council workers taking down unlicensed advertisements, I wonder why they have to take the time and effort to do so. Their having to do so is not without cost, as the workers involved have to be paid and there are also ancillary costs associated with their work.
Quite clearly, those responsible for such advertisements should be punished under whichever laws are appropriate, and I often read of local councils threatening to do so each time reports of such misdeeds are published. What I fail to understand is why such threats of prosecution have either not been carried out or, if carried out, have been unsuccessful. I have not read or heard of it. It cannot surely be the case that such activity is difficult to prove when the evidence is right there, staring the local council in the face.
