Dacorum council in Hertfordshire has prosecuted an estate agency for what it calls the “illegal display” of a For Sale board on a telegraph pole.
Sterling estate agents, which has offices in Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Kings Langley and Tring), pleaded guilty at St Albans magistrates' court to the placing of an unlawful board on a telegraph pole at Common Lane in Kings Langley.
The council brought the case because the board was not displayed on land or property for sale and it was not, therefore, apparent to which property the board related.

£80 to give to a telegraph pole. How does it intend spending it?
Probably on some new wires!
Perhaps it was a Polish bloke who works for the Telegraph.
Oh dear, Richard. Don't give up the day job, will you?
Seems a bit draconian. Where was the council's decorum?
I'll get my coat!
It was "not ..apparent to which property the board related".
That goes on all the time , in so many places, just drive around Salisbury for instance, I see some of the lower value chain Agents doing this.
Do you think home owners are ever paid to host a board on a property not actually for sale?
