HL Deb 22 April 2002 vol 634 c11WA
Lord Marlesford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ask Braintree District Council to cease using land adjacent to the A12 trunk road at Witham for advertising hoardings, which are contrary to government planning policy guidance. [HL3836]

Lord Falconer of Thoroton

Local planning authorities are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the advertisement control system. They have powers to control outdoor advertisements and to remove advertisements which are displayed unlawfully.
