'A GALLERY owner has criticised the district council after she was told to remove a roadside sign.
CJ Holding, who runs the Studio Gallery in Manor Farm, Peppard, says the sign is “harmless and unobtrusive” and is needed because her business cannot be seen from the road.
South Oxfordshire District Council has sent a letter warning of potential prosecution if the sign, which is viewed as “detrimental to road safety”, is not moved from the roadside by Peppard Common.
Miss Holding, who has run the gallery for three years, said: “It saddens me greatly that my local council would prefer to serve me notice of potential prosecution, rather than support me, all for the sake of a harmless and unobtrusive directional sign.
"Ironically, road safety was in fact my main consideration and the reason why I began to put a sign out in the first place."
