Sir, For the last 20 years Sobell House Hospice Charity has held a Gift Fair every October. We have relied on volunteers putting up posters on signs at the side of the road for our advertising.

This year, as councils are making clear that we are not allowed to put up temporary signs on the roads, we decided to approach the RAC to put up and remove directional signs around the area of Kingston Bagpuize House. Yesterday we were told that when the RAC applied for planning permission to put up the signs, the Highways Authority refused! So what now?
