Eyesore, unsafe billboards taken down in clean-up drive

URBAN management officials have removed hundreds of illegal outdoor advertising boards since Changning District began to enforce relevant rules last year.

To date, 73 large outdoor billboards have been demolished and 23 of them once stood along the elevated Yan’an Road W., totaling 12,000 square meters.

The officials also reinforced or removed 121 billboards and shop signs in local commercial hubs. Meanwhile, outdoor advertisers were told to obtain permits for their ad boards which must comply with local regulations.

The Changning Urban Management and Law Enforcement Bureau teamed up with the greenery and sanitation bureau and the commerce commission to eliminate unlicensed billboards. They held a hearing with concerned parties before taking the action.

They also worked with other departments to ensure the legal rights of advertisers are protected.

The clean-up action has improved the appearance of local streets and commercial hubs.

The urban management bureau said it will strengthen cooperation with the greenery and sanitation department to prevent violations.
