Success! This distracting and pointless digital adscreen, proposed for Stamford Hill, right opposite Stoke Newington Station, has been rejected permission on the grounds of public safety and detriment to the character of the area! Thanks everyone who objected! @adfreecities

A brandalised McDonald's and that is a big burger with the text: so warming Israel, not the real £, what is the true price, cost the earth, how is this possible. Gluttons R Us. Also an XR logo and a chick

3. The artist's impression presented by the applicant uses soft pastel colours and eliminates street furniture to mask the fact that this is a huge and intrusive proposal that will reduce the skyline significantly for people in the area, hugely damaging to the amenity. 4/6

All of these ads are now gone, following over 200 objections to plans to replace 30+ of them with digital ones, Hackney council planning dept rejected the proposals. Now @ClearChannelUK is appealing to secretary of state, but this is a contract with the council?! @PrivateEyeNews
