4. A Frames
The Parish Council provides standard A frame boards for temporary notices.

The A frames are for notices of events taking place at the Village Hall only.
Requests for any other use of the A frames should be sent to the Clerk.
No other boards or structures should be placed on Parish Council land or property without the prior written permission of the Parish Council. Any such applications should be sent direct to the Clerk in writing.
The Parish Council reserve the right to remove an A frame, without prior notification, under the following circumstances:
- It breaches the terms of this policy
- It is deemed to represent a Health and Safety risk
- The Council needs to undertake work in the grounds
