Flyposting

It is illegal under the Advertisement Regulations to flypost on private property and under the provisions of Highway Law on Structures, Paving and Street Furniture within the Public Highway. We, as a Council, attempt to secure the removal of the Flyposting and advise the venue that if further incidents occur we will prosecute.

Further Legislation in this area includes:

Section 43 of the anti Social Behaviour Act 2003, which allows authorised officers of the Council to issue fixed penalty notices of £50.00 for the offences of graffiti and fly posting.
Section 48-52 of the Act enables local authorities to issue notices requiring the removal of graffiti and fly posting within 28 days from certain surface and structures. If the notice is not complied with the Council can undertake the work and recover costs.
Town and Country Planning Act 1990 - Section 220.
The Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2003 Act, which is due to implemented in the 2006 will give local authorities greater powers to order the removal of graffiti and fly posting - and to recover costs.
