MARBELLA Town Hall estimates that there are some 400 billboards in the town, of which most are illegal and on private land.

 

The Councillor for Public Highways, Jose Eduardo Diaz, announced that the town hall plans to create a municipal law which will require billboards to be legalized or removed. It will give companies or owners of the billboards eight days to comply with the law, and those who fail to do so will face fines of up to €1,500.
 

There will be a group of Public Highway Inspectors to make sure that the laws are abided by and enforced throughout the town.
