Fly Posting
Fly posting is putting up unauthorised posters and stickers,
usually adverts, in public places. The council is responsible for
items attached to "the highway" - trees; bridges, lamp posts, road
signs and other street furniture. If private property is involved
(eg phone boxes or empty shops) then the council has no
jurisdiction.
As well as removing fly posting, the enforcement team takes
action against the people responsible. We have powers to prosecute
both the people putting up the material and the businesses being
advertised. The fines for fly posting are £80.
If you would like to report an instance of fly posting, please
