Redbridge Council has signed an advertising contract with JCDecaux to install 20 advertising boards, including in Wanstead, prompting concerns from residents about their impact on the conservation area's character. Katriye Ibrahim, a long-time resident, fears the high street will become cluttered and cite the boards as prioritizing profit over the community’s interests. The council claims the contract will provide financial benefits, including social initiatives and support for local businesses, but residents are worried about the implications for aesthetics and local wildlife.
The new advertising boards in Wanstead have sparked concern among residents, particularly regarding the potential infringement on the character of the conservation area and high street.
Local resident Katriye Ibrahim argues that the aesthetic quality of Wanstead’s high street is diminishing due to new advertising boards and illuminated shopfronts, reminiscent of Piccadilly Circus.
