Mock up of large digital billboard with mcdonalds ad
Refusal reasons given by planning on grounds of detriment to the character of the area and appearance, as well as public safety concerns with regards the highway.
Success! This distracting and pointless digital adscreen, proposed for Stamford Hill, right opposite Stoke Newington Station, has been rejected permission on the grounds of public safety and detriment to the character of the area!
Thanks everyone who objected!

Ban fast fashion ads, especially those with very questionable labour practices. 🛑

"If Ofcom wishes to maintain the authority of its code – and live up to its billing as the broadcasters’ regulator – it can no longer justify its inaction"

Last month, European Parliament said that Saudi Arabia hosting the 2034 World Cup “undermines the principles upon which FIFA was founded” - gender equality, human rights and environmental concerns.
Unsurprisingly, FIFA has doubled down. 🧵

#AdvertisingShitsInYourHead
You are on fire @adblockhackney.bsky.social 🔥- keeping pavements & public spaces for people & nature not corporate ads! Communities don't need energy hungry, pavement blocking ads promoting consumerism & products that are bad for people & the planet - our neighbourhoods are #BetterWithoutBillboards

Great to see this article on advertising & child health in the @bmj.com which draws on a lot of the same evidence we found in our Consuming Childhood briefing adfreecities.org.uk/wp-content/u... We would be very interested to hear from more academics & organisations who are working on this in the UK

An advertising board obscured by 'Live more, Buy less' message
LIVE MORE, BUY LESS. An anti-consumerist thought for #BlackFriday, and a friendly reminder that over-consumption is destroying the planet.
