Hi Carolyn, Thank you very much, I put them up years ago and the banks never complained. Had to replace them a few times as they get torn off.
Standard Bank at Spar have never reacted to community safety concerns at their ATM and doesn't seem that Nedbank in LMR has put into effect any security measures thus imagine they should be content.
