Fly-posting
About this service
Fly-posting relates to the unauthorised placing of posters, advertisements and/or notices to street furniture (e.g. lampposts, railings etc) and buildings without the consent of the owner and contrary to law.
Fly-posting is an offence under section 224(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Illegal advertisers can be fined up to £2,500 on conviction for this offence, and in the case of a continuing offence, £100 per day after a conviction. It is also an offence under the Highways Act 1980 to display an advertisement in contravention of regulations.
The Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 also allows authorised personnel to issue Fixed Penalty Notices for fly-posting. These illegal advertisements can be removed by the Council without notice.
