Galway County Council has announced a clampdown on unauthorised advertising structures that have been placed on private lands along the M6 Galway to Dublin motorway in the county.
Since last December, when the new motorway was officially opened, numerous advertising hoardings mainly on lorry trailers have been towed onto private lands in view of motorway users.
In a statement, the Council said no planning permissions for advertising hoardings have been granted along the motorway route and that all unauthorised structures will be the subject of action under planning legislation procedures.
It also says that having advertisement hoardings on wheels does not exempt them from planning requirements.
