Save Clitheroe Town Centre from BT's horrible hubs
The Issue
BT has submitted planning applications to place three 'hubs' incorporating large video advertising screens in the centre of Clitheroe: on the pavement outside the White Lion on Market Place (3/2023/0002), by Boots on Castle Street (3/2023/0008) and on King Street (3/2023/0006). These objects would tower over pedestrians and be completely out of keeping with the character of the town centre conservation area. As Clitheroe Civic Society has pointed out, towns such as Blackburn, Harrogate and Cheltenham have rejected similar applications from BT. We urge the Planning Committee of Ribble Valley to stand up for the character of Clitheroe and reject all three applications.
