Could this help reduce the A boards?

While B&NES and BID are searching around for an A-board compromise – can l suggest tat this advertising board – spotted in Walcot Street – may point the way to a better arrangement.

The A board bears the names of several businesses and indicates the direction in which you will find them.

Surely this is better than a line of individual obstacle – spreading across the pavement?

PS Very pleased to see a replacement sapling doing very well – thank you – in Laura Place. The original tree was diseased and had to be felled. The first replacement suffered wind damage and died.

Let’s hope this one has a chance to grow. I still think Great Pulteney Street should be tree planted again. It can be a big empty space at times!
