Please sign this petition if you disagree with Helston Town Councils decision to make all the independent traders in town remove their advertising boards from all pavements and verges, as apparently they cause a distraction to motorists and an obstacle to pedestrians! In a town thats already a victim to the big supermarket chains and rising town centre parking charges these individual Advertising Boards provide a vital lifeline to town centre businesses and the loss of them could lead to many many more shops closing their doors for good.

Reaching this level of support shows that people truly value the heart of our town. This fight has been exhausting but knowing so many of you agree on the importance of these traders keeps me going.

If the council keeps making life harder for us, there will be nothing left but charity shops. Wake up.

Absolutely ridiculous. Nobody is getting distracted by a chalkboard. Leave our local businesses alone.

Stop picking on the little guys. Never seen anyone trip over a board yet. Total nonsense.

The council has no idea how hard it is to run a shop in this town. These boards bring people in. Let them be.

Helston is dead enough already without this. You want shops to stay open or not?

My shop depends on that foot traffic. Please reconsider this silly rule we are struggling enough as it is.
