Should Estate Agents' Boards Be Banned within the Borough of
Ealing?
Estate Agents’ boards are increasingly littering the
streets of Ealing, whether attached to the front of a property or a
block of flats, or dumped unceremoniously on the pavement or
driveway by irate residents.
Nails are frequently left exposed onto the pavement, ready to
slice into flesh. Walls and fences are damaged by over-zealous
board fixers.
Estate agents erect boards at properties where signs are
prohibited by the Freeholders. Boards are often left in place for
months after a property has been let or sold.
We are starting a campaign to remove all boards in the Borough
of Ealing. This we hope will help to make our environment more
pleasant to live in, safer, and greener.
Ealing Council has the power to ban boards under what is termed
a Section 7 Regulation.
Please let us know whether you feel Estate Agents’ Boards
should be banned by visiting our Facebook and Twitter pages and
having your say.
