other retail outlets have A boards on the pavement(in fact there was one outside the Market Hall this morning advertising something or other)....and what does it matter where the chain is based? No-one bothers to enforce the law with regards to cars and vans parking on pavements...aren't they a hazard too?
I don't know the answer to your question, but I suppose you have the same e-mail facilities as the rest of us...if it bothers you so much e-mail HBC and find out.
