KUTA ~ Billboards in Kuta have started to draw complaints about violating Bali’s natural landscape, a spokesman said.

Kuta village chief Gede Suparta said that billboards, which were attached to electric poles and trees, looked chaotic; furthermore, most of the billboards had not been granted permission for installment.

Suparta said he sent a letter to local officials regarding the issue.

I Wayan Puspa Neara, a member of the regional House of Representatives, agreed that the billboards were not aesthetically pleasing, especially on Jl. Legian, where there were many tourists.

The government should realize this since Kuta would be one of development’s priorities in the future, he said.
