I MUST write and correct a statement made by Peter J Rigby in his letter last week.
I have never ever ordered traders to remove their Aboards from the town, in fact, quite the reverse, a couple of years ago I actually asked TVBC to stop taking action against the traders. All was fine until 2013 when a person complained about advertisements and A-boards and HCC had to take action.
Mr Rigby is, I understand, and as you might suspect, a UKIP activist and the Andover branch treasurer.
I am a Conservative and proud to be the leader of Test Valley Borough Council, the council which has just been ranked number one nationally for our medium-term financial prospects to 2019/20.
Cllr Ian Carr Leader, Test Valley Borough Council, Charlton ward member
