How
much fly posting is there in the area where you live?
ENCAMS undertakes independent fly posting surveys
throughout England known as BVPI 199c. It is now a requirement
for Councils to publish the results of the fly posting
surveys within their borough. Each area surveyed is
given one of seven grades and when all the results are
combined they provide an overall grade for your Council.
Comparisons can then be made with neighbouring and other
Councils and a more active stance against fly posting
encouraged.

The
grading system at work
|
| Grade
A – The transect is completely free of fly
posting. |
Grade
B – Some fly posting is present, but it is
minor in nature and it is likely that many people would
not notice its presence. This can include tie-bands
or other forms of fastening which remain after a notice
has been removed.
|
|
|
|
Grade
C – Fly posting is present on the transect
to the extent that it is likely to be clearly visible
to people using the area, and visible at a distance from
at least one end of the survey transect. |
Intermediate
Grades:
Grade
B+ between A & B
Grade B/C between B & C
Grade C between C & D
|
Thank
you to ENCAMS
for providing these photographs. |
|
Grade
D – Fly posting is extensive throughout much
of the transect and is clearly visible and obtrusive to
people passing through the transect, and visible from
any point on the transect. |

What is a transect?
A ‘transect’ is the name given to an area land or highway
that is sampled as part of a Cleanliness BVPI survey,
and on which a grade is given. There are broadly two
types of transect: one on highway sites and the other
on recreation and other open areas. A transect on a
highway is normally 50 metres long, extending the whole
width of the street A transect in an open recreation
area may measure up to 50 metres by 50 metres but it
may be broken down into several smaller areas.
