ADVERTISEMENT PERMITS FOR VEHICLES TO BE DISCONTINUED

* * * * *

THE GOVERNOR-IN-COUNCIL HAS DECIDED IN PRINCIPLE THAT NO NEW ADVERTISEMENT PERMITS FOR VEHICLES USED SOLELY FOR COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING SHOULD BE ISSUED AND THAT EXISTING PERMITS SHOULD NOT BE RENEWED ON EXPIRY.

LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENTS WILL BE NEEDED TO GIVE EFFECT TO THIS

DECISION.

A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN TODAY (WEDNESDAY) SAID THE DECISION WAS MADE ON THE GROUNDS THAT THE ADVERTISING VEHICLES ARE NOT PERFORMING ANY TRANSPORTATION FUNCTION BUT SIMPLY ADD TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN ALREADY BUSY AREAS.

HE SAID ADVERTISEMENTS CARRIED ON BUSES, TRAMS, TAXIS AND MINI- BUSES SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY ANY NEED FOR MOBILE ADVERTISING.

"HOWEVER, TO

ΤΟ ALLOW EXISTING OPERATORS CONCERNED ΤΟ HONOUR CONTRACTS WITH THEIR CLIENTS AND TO REDUCE THE HARDSHIP CAUSED BY THIS CHANGE, EXISTING PERMITS WOULD BE ALLOWED то REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL EXPIRY, BUT THESE SHOULD NOT BE RENEWED THEREAFTER, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.

ABOUT 30 SUCH PERMITS ARE BETWEEN NOW AND JANUARY 1993.

DUE ΤΟ

EXPIRE AT VARIOUS TIMES

REGARDING APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN GIVEN APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE, "THESE COMMITMENTS WILL BE HONOURED BUT APPLICANTS ARE ADVISED THAT PERMITS WILL BE ISSUED FOR A ONE-YEAR PERIOD ONLY AND WILL NOT BE RENEWED ON EXPIRY, HE SAID.
