Griff Rhys Jones has aired his views on the introduction of city centre television screens in The Times (29th July 2008). Originally proposed by the Government as temporary structures which will show the Olympics, the screens are likely to be sited across the country. Critics fear that the screens will become permanent, resulting in eyesores, intrusion on public space and noise pollution. Read Griff Rhys Jones' article by clicking Griff Rhys Jones in the Times.
