Immediately remove the promotional banners from the lampposts of the Borough, apologise and launch an investigation into how it happened, with recommendations on how to remedy the situation

We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to Immediately remove the promotional banners from the lampposts of the Borough, apologise and launch an investigation into how it happened, with recommendations on how to remedy the situation.

Over the past few weeks, we have seen lamppost promotional banners put up around Windsor and Maidenhead appearing to highlight the achievements of the council.
Not only have these banners been put up using taxpayers money, allegedly costing £22,000, but the work has also been done without planning permission.
One of the banners states: '4,000 homes built on council land’. This figure is an aspiration, and not a reflection of homes actually built.
Another complaint is that residents were not consulted about the location of these banners. For some residents, they are an eyesore, while the positioning of some of the banners could pose a distraction risk to drivers.
Concerns have also been raised about whether these banners are recyclable.
We want the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead to immediately remove the promotional banners from the lampposts of the Borough, apologise and launch an investigation into how it happened, with recommendations on how to remedy the situation.
