Kaikoura Star
Signs line the street outside shops in Kaikōura’s Main St. One man, who says they are a safety hazard, wants council to take a look at its bylaws and do something about it.
A Kaikōura man is challenging the council to take action over the growing number of illegal signs and hoardings “cluttering” the town and the district. Ralph Hogan raised the problem in the Kaikōura District Council s public forum last week, after trying for years to persuade council staff to tackle it. The council s signs bylaw limits the number of footpath signs and flags and their placement and the advertising area allowed on storefronts. It also bans offsite signs – that is, signs unrelated to their location.
