âOur upcoming production of the award-winning play
Shit has ruffled feathers in the community, with some residents and Byron council removing and impounding promotional signage,â she said.
âI have been involved in local theatre for 10 or 11 years and I have never seen council impound our signs before, and we always place them in the same spots.
âThe council officer I have spoken to said they only remove signs if there are complaints about them, but she did not confirm if that was the case here.â
