If You Like Purple

"Don't go to the cafe right beside you.
Just keep walking."

A brightly coloured map board right outside the Kazbah cafe on Goodwood Road invites visitors to go on a "two to ten minute walk" to cafes further down the road for their coffee and meal. There's been an eatery at this address for at least five years, so there's really no excuse for this in 2016. If I was the owner of Kazbah I would be fuming. These no doubt expensive map boards are out of date. Are there any plans to update them, or are they just going to get more and more irrelevant?

Mind you, before visitors can be led away to your competitors, they first have to be lured to visit Goodwood. That's another thing the GRBA* could usefully spend its money on: turning this stretch of road into a destination, somewhere people go to spend a couple of hours. Then the boards might have a useful purpose. Otherwise all we've got is an expensive purple thing blocking your view of the traffic. Oh well, I guess you could say it's vibrant. If you like purple.
