“Since I took office, we have taken several measures to significantly reduce the number of advertising facilities in Košice. We’ve set rules so that we don’t issue new permissions to advertising companies, and we don’t renew them when their original ones expire. Despite the complex administration that accompanies this process, our goal is to beautify the streets and the entire public space in our city, “said Polaček.
According to the mayor, the removal of illegal advertising media will not only end with their removal in almost 100 places for which they have already obtained a permit.
In the following year, they plan to remove other illegally built billboards and advertising space, for which in the meantime the city will receive further decisions from the building authority.
As the municipality further informed, if possible, the city will plant one tree or another tree on the site of each removed advertising medium.
