It is our intention to try to stop illegal fly posting like
the ones shown below:
The problem arises on disused advertising and empty shop
fronts.
Perpetrators
These are mainly entertainment venues and promoters.
The Law
It is illegal under the Advertisement Regulations to fly post
on private property and under the provisions of Highway Law on
Structures, Paving and Street Furniture within the Public
Highway. The Highways are controlled by Cumbria County
Council see the address below. The A590 at the roundabout
East of Oaklea Road is controlled by the Highways Agency. We,
as a Council, attempt to secure the removal of the Fly Posting and
advise the venue that if further incidents occur we will
prosecute.
'A' Boards
The placing of 'A' boards within the Town Centre, i.e. Dalton
Road and pavements are covered by Highways legislation which is
administered by Cumbria Highways.
