We will claim damages if anything happen to our billboards.

Go Advertising Limited has notified the Public Works Department, through their lawyers Sherani & Co, that they will take legal action against the PWD if there is any damage to two of their Billboards erected around the Votualevu Roundabout near Nadi.

It has now been confirmed by Go Advertising Director, Charles Wakeham that one of the billboards has been dismantled today.

In a letter to the Works Ministry, Go Advertising Limited said it had got all necessary approvals from the Nadi Town Council for the installation of the billboards adding that the PWD is acting in a blatant disregard of the consent given by the Nadi Town Council and is acting without any written notification in taking such drastic course of action.

Courts Homecentres Chief Executive, James Datta had complained that necessary approval was not sought, that the billboards were blocking his building adding that it was on State land.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed by the Lands Department Divisional Surveyor Westerns Office that the land which the billboards are on, although under the Nadi Town Council jurisdiction, belongs to the State.

The Nadi Town Council is yet to comment on the matter.
