Plans to install more than a dozen interactive digital screens on streets across Edinburgh have been taken to the Scottish Government after the council branded them "advertisement clutter" and refused permission.
Over recent months Edinburgh City Council has thrown out 18 separate applications lodged by BT for touch-screen 'Street Hubs'.
As well as generating income from commercial advertising, the large LED displays give the council five per cent of screen time, provide free wifi, charging, calls and boost 5G signal in the area.
