Footway Advertising Signs 'A Boards'
Aberdeen City Council have asked that their policy on footway advertising signs (A Boards) be circulated due to the risk to pedestrians, particularly those with sight impairment. These signs must not occupy the adopted footway and should be within your building frontage. Aberdeen City Council will take action under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984, Section 59, to remove signs which contravene this legislation. Aberdeen International Comedy Festival teams up with Mental Health Aberdeen
We are delighted to announce that Mental Health Aberdeen has come on board as the official charity partner for Aberdeen International Comedy Festival 2019.
