Flyposting

What Is Fly-Posting?

Fly-posting has no formal definition. However, it is taken to be the display of advertising material on buildings (Town and Country Planning Act 1990) and street furniture (Highways Act 1980) without the consent of the owner, contrary to the provisions of the Regulations. Any person found fly-posting may be issued with an instant fixed penalty notice for £80 or prosecuted in the Magistrates Court.

It can range from, but is not exclusive to :

• Notices for lost pets
• Adverts for jumble sales
• Election material
• Finger boards to housing developments
• Adverts for social and musical events.
