The increasing number of electronic billboards being installed across the city and the revenue which should be collected have attracted the attention of city councillors, Lelon Saul and Clayton Hinds.
Both councillors at the Council’s statutory meeting yesterday, questioned the billboards’ legality and the approval process behind their sudden appearances.
Saul, in a brief but fiery address, said “I think it’s necessary for us to have an investigation… Every day, billboards are going up around the city, and nobody seems to know or see anything.” Saul then cast doubt on the competence of the city’s engineering department describing the department’s handling of the matter as “mediocrity”.
