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.

    • @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.
    • Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie
    • This is quite a serious allegation. What evidence is there of this? Pressured how and by whom? This is quite a spin on ‘it’s been agreed with the emergency services’. They think the vehicles pictured driving through with partially covered plates are the result of ‘poor signage’ 🤔  If it is as they say ‘small numbers’ driving through the square, that doesn’t suggest that the signage is unclear. I mean who honestly believes it’s possible to drive through there without noticing the signs / planters (assuming you’re driving with due care and attention)?! 🤨  Also, haven’t ‘One’ opposed any improvements to the layout / landscaping and signage proposed by Southwark? It’s all a bit desperate. At the height of the LTN ‘controversy’ a number of co-ordinated ‘One’ groups popped up across London. It doesn’t feel like a local grassroots movement, but has all the hallmarks of astroturfing. The lack of transparency about it’s funding / sponsorship and structure does not help with this impression. 
    • Hi there, My children and I are adopting 4 ex-battery hens and seeking a secondhand home for them, let me know if you have anything, of any style that might fit four feathered ladies in. I can collect at your convenience this weekend or during the week.    Warmest, Hannah
