Let's remove the word "chav" from the national vocabulary for Chatham and Medway. Medway should aspire to be great, a cultural city and emerging economic force.
The Medway citizens and visitors of 2041 should have no need for adverts. Current technology allows physical businesses to advertise effectively on handheld devices (apple/google maps, for example) and imminently these apps will be upgraded to Augmented Reality e.g. https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/geospatial meaning that our town and city centres can be dramatically cleaned up by banning physical adverts.

There is already government guidance on advertisement so I’m not sure how this resolves anything? I think this is more of an issue for development management/ planning breaches.

Could there also be a policy to keeping them in good condition? The billboards along Cuxton road in Strood are often peeling off and look an eyesore. So could this be a condition of development of new billboards?

Illumination of any sign or shop front should be kept to a minimum. Too much energy is wasted this way.

I don't think advertisements should be allowed on the facia of any heritage site as it is jarring and detracts from the site.

Companies park vans on road bridges to advertise themselves -these are a distraction and ugly.

In conservation areas signage and lighting must be in keeping with the historic aesthetic. It is not necessary to have neon lights or TV screens in shop windows.
