    is this an independent shop, or party of a chain?

    This is the best idea. Ever.


    There's no criminal damage if it's a removable sticker. However, the stickers will soon be removed, and you'd have to stick them on every sign.


    How about getting your local paper interested in Smart's sharp practices and the fact that the council won't do anything. And complain to your local councillor. Keep up the good work!

  • I'm encouraged by the council's response that they'll do nothing if it's not causing anyone any bother. I think I'll rely on that to build a new house in my garden without consent, that won't harm anyone! :)
