Report fly-posting

Fly-posting is displaying material such as posters and advertising without permission. Fly-posting is illegal and anyone caught may be prosecuted.

We will remove fly-posting within 5 working days of receiving a request. If the fly-posting is racist or offensive, we will usually remove it within 1 working day.

We may take legal action against those responsible under the Advertisements Regulations by using the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 or the Highways Act 1980.
