Fly Posting in Charnwood Doesn

Posted on 17/03/2009

Graphic proof that fly posting in Charnwood does not pay was recently demonstrated when, following prosecutions brought by Charnwood Borough Council, Loughborough magistrates handed the company Leisure Leagues (Europe) Limited a very significant fine.

In September last year, placards advertising soccer leagues run by Leisure Leagues (Europe) Limited appeared all over Loughborough, attached to traffic lights, road signs and pedestrian refuges. These placards did not have advertising consent and fly posting like this is a criminal offence.

Leisure Leagues were formally asked to remove the placards, but ignored the Charnwood Borough Council
