political party signs nailed to trees in CA's

[Charlieh]

So then whats the deal with political signs being nailed onto trees in conservation areas, is this an offence, i mean nailing anything to a tree is less than ideal, but there are blooming loads appeared in the last few days, and some i know to be in a CA

 

so then legal and tree officer type bods, whats the deal

that winds me up too charlie. i noticed it more down south at the last show i went to, i think it was justins one, a lot of the street trees had something nailed to them, whether it was a missing dog or a poster. Young trees aswell, maybe a foor in diameter.

A certain political party has lost my vote for nailing/having their supporters nail huge signs on roadside trees. I was never fond of them anyway, but that was the final nail *budum-tish* in the coffin.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Rupe

As far as I know they are only allowed to tie the things to lamp posts and they must be above a certain height. Any boards must not be mounted on trees, power or phone poles but can be put on posts in the fields.

 

However when have any politicians followed any rules??

[Andy Collins]

Haha, I saw the local council "cleaning" up roadside clutter the other day, removing just this sort of thing, election stuff and all:laugh1: and to be very PC they removed posters for all parties

[Matt Butler]

im happy as long as there conservative, most annoying thing is that some poor tree man will probably hit the nail when they get cut down!!

i feel a complaint to the local national park authority.

[Kev Stephenson]

These are local rules, not sure of they extend nationally

 

Kirklees rules

 

Allowed on lamp-posts but not on trees, telephone poles or traffic lights

 

Posters must be at least 2.1m off the ground and no bigger than 45cm by 30cm

 

Must be removed before the end of the next full week after polling day
