Hammersmith & Fulham Conservative Parliamentary Spokesman, Cllr Greg Hands has hit out at the Labour Council this week regarding the high cost to the taxpayer of advertising campaigns that become invisible as soon as they go on display.

Greg explained: "The Labour Council seem very good at producing very expensive glossy posters, but are failing miserably when it comes to displaying them - essentially putting the whole exercise to waste.

"All around the Borough the council has poster display boards that have become vandalised and broken over the years, to the point that you cannot actually see through the glass fronts anymore.

This is a ridiculous waste of our money - but one that is symbolic of this Labour Council."

Cllr Hands has recently inspected the site of one of the worst offenders: the hoarding outside Robert Owen House on Fulham Palace Road.

Greg has added: "Not only is the glass in front of the posters damaged - but the whole thing just looks disgusting. These boards are portraying Hammersmith & Fulham in an appalling light and there is simply no excuse for it."
