The authority gave permission for a road-side sign on condition that it was kept clean and tidy. They later issued a notice requiring its removal, complaining that it had become overgrown and partly obscured. The sign and site were tidied, but the authority prosecuted. They appealed the magistrates dismissal of the information. On appeal the question was as to the condition of the notice at the time it was served, not whether it had been remedied. The permission had accordingly lapsed.
