The Barbados Light & Power Company (BLPC) is urging political parties and supporters to remove campaign materials from utility poles.

In a public advisory, the company called for the removal of all posters, signs, wooden placards, nails, tacks and other metallic devices from utility poles, warning that they posed safety risks.

Campaign posters are supposed to be taken down the night before the polls open, but there are thousands of them still on poles across Barbados. The notice was posted prior to last Wednesday’s General Election.


BLPC thanked the public for helping to keep communities safe and appealed for the prompt removal of the materials.
