In what way is it not flyposting?
Either they have secures the notices so they will be hard to remove cleanly, or they will be
liable to fall of in bad weather and litter the streets.

If you let some people off the hook you will just get more people doing it and the place will
end up looking like Edinburgh after the festival.

If there really are no pubs, shops or notice boards, no local radio or community events to
advertise at, then they can always put the leaflets through letter boxes as cancer recherche
charities often do where I am.

Even if they think the law is wrong, they know it is the law and so should complain about the
law it's self instead of complaining when it is enforced.

This topic should be titled "Clear up" rather than clear off!
I do take your point about local radio Letum, but we're talking small scale stuff here. Just do a Google map search on Misterton, Somerset and you'll see what I mean. When I go into Bristol, I get hacked off with the millions of flyposters advertising everything from bands to weight-reduction products. I also get hacked off with the thousands of leaflets that come through my door every day. I guess the solution really is for councils to provide more notice boards in small rural communities.
