bristolbuildingsurveyors.co.uk -The landlord of a pub, the Black Swan in Easton, Bristol, has been fined £11,000 for ‘flyposting’.
The punishment is for putting up posters on lamposts, street hoardings and other items of street furniture without permission. The council reputedly removes thousands of posters every year, and had highlighted the areas the landlord, Mr Melford, had illegally installed the posters, giving him an opportunity to take them down. Having been ignored, court proceedings were brought. Mr Melford did not attend the hearing.
