Summary

Fly posting is both unsightly and illegal. We try to ensure that unauthorised illegal fly posting does not adversely affect residents, businesses or visitors. We have discretionary powers to take enforcement action and prosecute offenders.

Permission is required to display an advert on highway-controlled land or structures; enquiries should be made to the Highways Department. Adverts on private land or buildings may need planning permission; enquiries should be made to the Planning Department.

It is an offence to display an advert without the consent required, or to permit someone else to do so.
