I sympathise with Paul Croft’s concern about lots of illegal business advertising on power poles in Woy Woy and Umina (Forum CCN 400).
The brazenness of many of the offenders is truly remarkable.
However, I can understand why Ausgrid (which maintains the electricity network on the Central Coast) and Central Coast Council do not go around removing the signs.
They are under constant pressure to deal with far more serious matters and do not have the resources to patrol the area looking for minor offences.
But they will gladly remove signs if we report them on their website or by calling 13 13 65.
Signs on other public property can be reported to Central Coast Council via the Report an Issue program on its website or by calling 4306 7900.
