Fly-posting

If you want to place posters, leaflets, business cards or any other advertising in a public area or on council land, you must get permission.

If you want to advertise on council-owned land or buildings, check our page about advertising signs or putting a sign above a highway. 

For advertising on private land or buildings, check our planning advertisement control page.

You can find legislation and more information on fly-posting by looking at:

• Anti Social Behaviour Act 2003
• Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005
• Town and Country Planning Act 1990
