planning permission won’t be given. fines are high enough that paying someone to hold it makes sense in some ways.

Someone should get onto the DSPCA.

You see a lot of this with small businesses struggling to stay afloat but unable to direct people to their businesses. The council will not allow any signs anywhere, maybe with reason but it’s not fair to independent businesses, usually paying a staunch rent. My mates Auto Repair Garage went under, it was down a lane, sounds stupid but he couldn’t just have a sign that said ‘Garage’ and pointed to it. This situation is repeated ad infinitum. These businesses hire people to hold these disparate signs with no other options. They cynically encourage entrepreneurs nationally but on a local level they will happily hamper your efforts to succeed.
Things can only get better :-/
Every time I think of that song, I imagine Peter Mandleson dancing
