Pub placards are ‘banned’

Jan 10 2008 by Katie Norman, South Wales Echo

GIANT placards have been banned from highlighting a community’s fight to save its local pub.
Cardiff council has ordered residents to remove massive banners objecting to the proposed demolition of the Pantmawr Inn, in Pantmawr, Cardiff, from their properties.

Developer Charles Church wants to build a block of 23 flats and 11 houses on the site but locals are against the proposal.

Protest advertisements at least four metres long had been sited near the pub but council officers ordered their removal after receiving complaints.

They say the huge banners need planning permission.

Hugh Payne, who is chairman of the Pantmawr Action Group, said: “The banners may be going up again. Not officially, but I can’t stop people if they’re going to put them in their gardens.”
