KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) has removed several illegal billboards and signs across the Corporate Area, including one erected at the entrance to the Jamaica Society for the Blind on Hope Road that officials say posed a danger to visually impaired pedestrians.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Robert Hill condemned the placement of the billboard, describing it as both unlawful and insensitive.

“This is an offence. This is an affront to the disabled community, and we as a responsible municipal organisation cannot allow this to stay here. So we are taking action today to remove this structure from the public right-of-way,” Hill said.
