Show Notes
Nelson's proposed sandwich board ban is being viewed as a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
The city council's looking at banning the signs, requiring businesses to have a resource consent to display them in a public place.
One sandwich board is allowed under existing rules.
Mayor Nick Smith told Mike Hosking it's not something he supports but acknowledges boards can create issues for the disabled community.
He says the odd retailer has multiple signs, and the council could go harder on rule enforcement.
A final recommendation will be considered in September.
