Wokingham Council have recently awarded the contract for bus shelter management in the borough to Trueform, a public transportation technology and manufacturing company.
Trueform have applied to install double-sided digital advertising screens at 12 of the borough bus shelters. Most of these currently have paper advertising screens. One stop in the town centre, currently doesn’t have any advertising on it, has also been proposed for change to a digital screen shelter.
Adblock Reading went to Wokingham town centre this weekend, asking local people to sign a petition against the planned changes to the town centre shelter. They also encouraged people to object to the changes on the other shelters. Around 80 people signed the petition in the three hours spent on the streets discussing the proposed changes with people.
If you would like to object please go to the Wokingham planning page, here.
