There’s trouble brewing in Nelson over a council bylaw banning advertising flags outside shops.  

The bylaw was adopted in November of 2024, limiting retailers to a single sandwich board display, which must be placed against the curb. 

'Coffee on Queen’ has been threatened with a $500 fine and forced to remove their flag, which co-owner Matt Redwood says attracts $200-$300 in revenue from foot traffic.  

Redwood told Mike Hosking the rule is taking a lot of money out of businesses pockets.
