Another high-tech advertising board has been approved for a city centre street, despite concerns from councillors.

Telecoms giant BT has submitted a series of planning applications for  'street hubs' – 75inch advertising monoliths with free Wi-Fi and phone charging facilities - with the latest one approved for outside John Lewis.

Previous applications for St Swithins Road and Brigg Street were approved last month.

At Thursday’s City Hall planning committee meeting, Green councillors argued the board on All Saints Green should not display any advertising.

Sandra Bogelein said advertising could be distracting and would negatively impact the street.

While other councillors dismissed rejecting both sides, it was agreed that advertising would only be displayed on one side of the board.

No advertising will be shown when facing All Saints Church, which council officers said would "adversely affect the visual identity of the street scene" and the grade one listed church.
