The Deputy is right. We all have teams who put up and take down the posters. There is a need to be careful because sometimes posters have been put up low on the pole first as it is easier, and then you have to go up and up until you are at the top of the pole. I am always very conscious of the possibility of somebody slipping and falling. Those putting up the posters need to be careful. The Deputy and I, and all Members, indeed, would give them that warning to be careful when putting up the posters and not to do any damage to themselves. It is great that they put up the posters but I ask that the cable ties be taken down afterwards. If they do not take them down, the Tidy Towns people have to try to remove them, which is quite difficult. I ask people putting up posters to be aware and to work within the timeframes. They should put them up, take them down and job done.
