Rutland County Council issued the following statement.
SIGNAGE POLICY
Candidates and agents were made aware of Rutland County Council’s signage policy with respect to large campaign banners at a face-to-face briefing on Thursday 30th May.
The office of Conservative candidate Alicia Kearns was contacted by the Council’s Highways Service on Friday 14th June to advise that a banner being displayed along the A606, Burley Park Way did not comply with this policy, due to its size and location.
As part of our approach to managing signage along the highways, we take steps to remove and safely store banners and posters that are not policy compliant. All other banners and posters that meet the conditions of the signage policy are left in place.
