Fly posting
Putting up unauthorised posters and stickers, usually adverts, in public places is fly posting. It damages the appearance of our streets and public places.
Areas afflicted can appear to be neglected, which in turn, can discourage others from taking pride in their surroundings. Fly posting can sometimes cause hazards, especially when it is on or near road junctions and obstructs the view of oncoming traffic.
Fly posting is illegal. We will remove fly posting that is put up on street furniture. Enforcement will be considered in line with our enforcement policies.
There is a £100 fixed penalty for people who are witnessed putting up fly posters, with a reduction of the fine to £75 if paid within 7 days of issue. Failure to pay will result in prosecution leading to a fine of up to £2500.
