Ah, so your suggestion that people should deface adverts with potentially defamatory remarks about the business operators being crooks is based on what you are being told by a trainee solicitor (i.e. someone in their 2 year training period?)!

Agents will now have to apply for consent from Wandsworth Council in London to display boards in the town centres of Putney, Balham and Clapham Junction, as well as parts of Lavender Hill. Any agency which erects boards without express consent from the council will be guilty of an offence under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and will be liable for a fine of up to ?2,500 and up to ?250 per day should the offence continue after a first conviction.


Wandsworth Council was awarded the powers to ban boards which are displayed without consent after putting in a request to the secretary of state.

I wonder how many comply? Our block of flats is in private grounds and putting up sales boards is forbidden. Doesn't seem to stop them attaching them to our front gate.


What we have taken to doing is removing them, putting them on the pavement and then calling the agent telling them that we have removed the board they attached to private property without permission and have now reported them to the council for fly tipping.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
