Fly posting

Flyposting is posters, stickers or signs that often advertise events.

They are put on walls, windows and other surfaces without the permission of the property owner.

We can take action against those responsible for fly posting and remove illegal posters and placards. We will recover the costs from those who have displayed them, or cause them to be displayed.

Leaving leaflets on car windows is also an offence under the Road Traffic Act as it obstructs the view of the driver.
