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!
