Flyposting is the displaying of adverts on bins, posts or walls without permission.
Permission is required to display an advert on highway-controlled land or structures. All enquiries should be made to our Highways department.
Adverts on private land or buildings may need planning permission. Enquiries should be made to our Planning department.
Reporting a flyposting issue
To report flyposting online you will need:
- the location of the fly posting
- information on the type of structure the advert is on
- any extra information such as a photo (if it is safe to do so).
We respond to all flyposting on public land, within three weeks. If there is evidence of the culprit, we take enforcement action against them. We can enforce against illegal advertising on both public and private property.
