Billboards without authorisation

300 advertising billboards without authorisation in the municipality of Marbella, the majority of them on privately owned land and around a hundred on public land. In the case of the former, explained the councillor, the details of the installers must be handed in at the Town Hall so that authorisation can be granted if applicable. In the case of billboards on municipal land, it will be up to the Town Hall to decide where the boards can be located and the corresponding contracts will be put out to tender “so that all firms have the chance to use them”.

The dismantling of the first illegal billboards is a sign of the enforcement of a new bylaw announced by the Mayor, ángeles Muñoz, in which she called on all the firms using the billboards and the installers to take them down or show the necessary paperwork at the Town Hall. If this is not done the local authority will carry out the work although the bill will be sent to those responsible for the billboards.
