Feedback
from a Liverpool Councillor in January 2007
In
Liverpool we have some sporadic graffiti but also have
a high incidence of trade fly-posting which we are going
to tackle in 2007 with two special initiatives. Once
this is underway, our next target will be the graffiti.
Fly
posting is to be allowed on designated sites only and
will be done in special frames provided and managed
by City Centre Posters Ltd of London. A magazine called
"Off The Wall" will be distributed in various centres
and will contain details of all local clubs and music
venues which young people frequent and where amateur
bands perform. Illegal fly-posting will be vigorously
prosecuted as and when it appears. More details when
the schemes are up and running.

I
believe the approach you are taking is right. There
is an obvious need for this type of media and providing
a controlled outlet should remove the need for illegal
posting. Please keep us updated on its progress and
the results.

Feedback
from Newport Council in September 2006
"About
a year ago I passed on a suggestion during a full cabinet
meeting that fly posters were marked 'SOLD OUT or CANCELLED.
This has been successful in other areas. Legal department
agreed this was so."

Response
from GraffitiHotline
This
approach has worked well throughout the country.
The
correct legal wording is the the fly poster has been
cancelled as legally the event is still going to happen.
By using a much bigger font for the word CANCELLED it
looks as though the event has been cancelled.
