Fly Posting on Lamp Posts
Seems to be increasing and is quite unsightly - assume this is illegal. Do the council prosecute does anyone know?

I know that they take them down when made aware of them, but I'd imagine the cost of pursuing civil proceedings is probably not the best use of taxpayers money, given the returns. I'm assuming here that it's a civil offence and not a criminal one.

A post about posting on posts. Post reading it, I felt compelled to post, post haste.

The behaviour, not the offenders.

Think you'll find they are the "offenders"

What I'm saying is that that having livedin, worked in, and commuted through London for 25 years it was noticeable that fly posting on lamp posts increased. This is now happening in Hertford too.

Yes it has. It is illegal so remove them if you wish.

It looks so tatty. I've made a complaint to the council, apparently yes you can be prosecuted. Might be a good thing if they made examples of a few people to discourage others.

What telephone boxes?! I think you might have just put your finger on why there are so many more fly posters on lamp posts than there used to be Joe. [:)]
