How
much fly posting is there in the area where you live?
There are 198 National Indicators (NI) that were
identified by the Government in November 2007. One of
them is the NI 195 Cleanliness Performance Indicator,
which has been developed to measure the cleanliness
of the local environment, as a member of the public
would see it.
Each
area surveyed is given one of seven grades
and when all the results are combined they provide an
overall percentage for your
Council. The Council is required to submit the results
of the regular fly poster surveys undertaken within
their borough. Comparisons can then be made with previous
inspections 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- 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 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.

How is the overall percentage calculated?
Each
transect that is inspected is graded. If that grade
is A, B+ or B it passes, B- is a half fail and C, C-
and D is a fail. The overall percentage is the number
of transects that fail. The lower the percentage the
better.
