We will investigate your report within 10 working days and inform you about its status.

Tackling flyposting

Under section 244 (3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, it is an offence to display an advertisement that contravenes the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992.

If the act is proven to be an offence, the offender is liable, on summary conviction, for a fine, currently not exceeding £1,000 or may receive a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice.

In the case of a continuing offence, the offender is liable for £100 for each day that the offence continues after conviction.

This provision applies to all types of unauthorised advertisements and not exclusively to fly-posting.

Section 132(2) of the Highways Act 1980 makes provision for the highway authority to remove any picture, letter, sign or other mark painted, ascribed or affixed on the surface of the highway, or any structure or works on or in the highway. This provision includes flyposting on street furniture and allows us to remove posters without notice.
