BASSETERE, ST. KITTS, APRIL 22ND 2011 (CUOPM) – The Department of Physical Planning and Environment said banners and billboards that are erected in public spaces and are not registered with the Department will be removed and destroyed.
In a notice from the Department reminded the general public that banners and billboards must be registered before they are erected.
