Fly posters advertising a Fair at ROKO Health Club

The York Council has taken action to remove posters which were illegally fly posted across west York.

The posters advertised a Fair taking place at ROKO

Officials say that 40 posters have been removed and that they plan to take legal action against those responsible.

The posters had caused particular concern because they were attached to street furniture using sellotape which is difficult to remove.

Council officials say that they have removed over 40 posters.

They ask that if a resident sees any others which have been missed that they report them.

A Freedom of Information request has been lodged with the Council asking them to reveal how many prosecutions for fly posting have been undertaken during the last 3 years.
