I would like to express the Kingston Society's sincere gratitude to all those who responded to our call to petition the council's scrutiny panel on the banning of A-boards. As most people will know, the panel decided by a large majority to support its original decision to ban A-boards. We had called on the council to seek more socially acceptable alternatives, and this course has now been initiated by the forming of an "overview commission", to be chaired by Councillor Dennis Doe.
