Fly posting

Fly posting is the unauthorised placing of any sign, poster or sticker advertising or promoting an event or commercial activity on any street sign, public utility street cabinets or on private premises without the owner's permission, and it is illegal.

We are responsible for the removal of fly posting from Council property and on the public highways in our areas. Public utilities such as telecom companies or bus and railway companies are responsible for removing items that have been fly posted on their property.

It is the responsibility of the property owner to remove fly posted items fixed to private property.

To report fly posting, please contact our Waste and Recycling team.
