The District and Town Councils consider the notice board unwanted:
Noxious noticeboard…or popular community asset? | Sidmouth Independent News
It is deemed 'dangerous':
It’s a ‘danger’ - it’s a....notice board - News - Sidmouth Herald
On the other hand:
There are several other 'pinch points' where people gather to make use of services in Sidmouth - which have been allowed, encouraged or ignored by the authorities - such as the cash point at the top of the busy High Street where the pavement is narrow and the road is two-way:

There is also the issue of 'ugly signage' elsewhere:
What frustrates me is that the noticeboard was not allowed to stay, but the council planning dept seem to 'overlook' the ugly advertising fence on a pub just down the road. Surely any councillor walking through town would be able to see how not-in-keeping great big notices saying Heineken are with the general character of the town (thankfully Sidmouth is still pretty much free of large scale national company advertising except for this). Even with the fences moved back slightly they are still forcing anyone with a wheelchair or not walking single file into the road.

Sidmouth Town Council has committed itself to providing new notice boards. Although the Sidford notice board was replaced some years ago, the other boards are still awaiting some tlc. Interestingly, the notice board at Sidford is situated on a rather busy crossroads...
1) Notice boards be replaced one each year in the following order; Three Cornered Plot, The Ham, Lymebourne, St. Theresa’s Hall. The same design as the Sidford notice board should be used where appropriate.
2) A maintenance programme be drawn up so that all notice boards are re-stained each year.
3) Investigate whether funding can be allocated to notice board replacement from the Towns and Parishes Together Fund.
