Cleaning up the city - Part 2

Liverpool City Council flyposting ban!

Keep Britain Tidy Campaign states that “flyposting attracts graffiti, sending out the signal an area is uncared for and can exacerbate people's fear of crime. This in turn stops businesses choosing to locate there and can also keep visitors away”. Liverpool City Council claimed that flyposting was deterring business from investing into Liverpool, especially with the City of Culture status this would deter visitors.

All flyposting has been made illegal which stops political meetings being advertised along with the promotion of local band nights – This is Liverpool’s culture, a thriving, creative people who will want to know about such things. However the main offenders are the city centre club owners and the city’s main radio stations, who use massive A1/A0 posters on sites around the city centre. In certain parts of the city centre flyposting has been made semi-legal by creating space for posters, however political groups and local bands due to the cost, can’t access these.

Keep resisting and keep fly posting!

Its not just about affordability. I well remember flyposting over some of these club posters and was threatened with having my legs broken. The fact is, these club sites are controlled by Liverpool's racketeers and gangsters who make a killing from the money and often use the business to launder drug and other crime money. We are being driven into the ground and made marginal and helpless by all kinds of coercion - legal and illegal - and its time we started fighting back.

Way around flyposting

29.10.2003 12:45

You might be able to make an arrangement to put up posters which can be put up within 7 days of the meeting/event taking place, and taken down within 7 days? The way it is done in Galway (Ireland) is that clear strong sellotape is wrapped around the poster and pole very tightly. In spite of rain they do stay up if it is done properly. Then they are taken down within 7 days. (Flyposting is when it is pasted on so this would not come under any law specifying flyposting - though you need to check this out).

Politicians are allowed to post during elections so other groups should be allowed at other times.

Advertising Bikes

Hello,

I run a relatively new advertising agency in Liverpool, along with our student
distribution services we have recently started operating advertising bikes in
the north west that allow you to get 2 60"x40" posters directly to your target
audience in a new and exciting way.
I believe this may be of interest as it allows you to go directly into
city centres at any time of the day and move around as you please. Also you can
change your media throughout the day to target different audiences.
It is hard to imagine what these bikes look like so you can see them on our website  http://www.anotherlatenight.biz
