Councillors have found themselves at a crossroads over plans to install a “monolithic” digital advertising board beside a busy junction in Farnham.

Surrey County Council wants to install a digital panel on Hickley’s Court to promote some of its messages, local highway plans and initiatives like Active Travel.

It is also hoped the LED screen will provide an “additional shop window” by promoting local products and services.

The application will come before Waverley Borough Council next Wednesday (May 7) with the 2.75m high by 1.14m wide board being recommended for approval.

Farnham Town Council have objected as they haven’t been consulted and believe the “proposed monolith” will be visually intrusive and will detract from a heritage fingerpost earmarked for the same site.
