SIR — In its haste to tidy up Winchester, the city council has now decreed that the use of temporary roadside signs to advertise theatrical productions at Winchester’s own Theatre Royal is now forbidden.

My lovely pink notices publicising the Operatic Society’s double bill of Cavalleria Rusticana and Trial by Jury, placed for the entertainment of drivers stuck at strategic road junctions around Winchester, have now been taken down.

I apologise to all those motorists who rely on these signs to find out about our productions, and hope that they will remember to book their tickets for the remaining shows.

Vernon Tottle, Business manager, Winchester Operatic Society, Itchen Abbas.
