Flyposting

The Environmental Services and Cleansing teams at Waveney District Council work together to combat fly-posting, finding out who is responsible and trying to get it removed.

You can report fly-posting online via the One Suffolk website.

What is fly-posting?
Fly-posting is putting up unauthorised posters and stickers (usually adverts) in public places. Those involved in fly-posting are particularly drawn to street furniture like lampposts and road signs. Hoardings, fences, walls, bridges and other convenient flat surfaces also suffer.

Why is fly-posting a problem?
Fly posting damages the appearance of our streets and public places. Areas afflicted can appear to be neglected, which in turn, can discourage others from taking pride in their surroundings, leading to further damage to the quality of our environment. Removal is expensive and can cause damage to decorative or delicate surfaces like paintwork.

You can report fly-posting online or request the removal of fly-posting by contacting the Cleansing Team:
Email: waveney.info@ncsgrp.co.uk  
Telephone: 01502 562111

There is no charge for this service, though the Council will try to recover costs from those found responsible.
