This subject merits a separate thread and what better to start the ball rolling than with this serial offender:-


http://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t643/savedelhi/B1Edited_zpse6wl44fl.jpg


This is a novel approach but is none the less illegal as it contravenes one or more of the following items of legislation:-


Section 224(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

Section 132(1) of the Highways Act 1980

Sections 43-47 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003


The adverts are attached with tamper-proof screws to the frame of the bike which is in turn attached with a VERY heavy chain.


Apart from being illegal, these bikes deny cyclists the opportunity to secure their bikes at places such as railway stations, shopping area etc.


Any member of the public is fully entitled to deface or remove these adverts after reporting them to Southwark Council.


Happy hunting.

A useful thread GG as there is quite a lot of fly posting going on. It seems to go in waves - until Southwark stops it by taking action against the perps.


I think this Jane Jefferson one is hilarious because their slogan is "The only way is ethics".


How ethical is it to locate illegal adverts around all of South London. It is breaking the law and it blocks secure parking for bikes.

Cora,

This is a large operation with bikes parked outside stations all the way fro Balham to Blackheath! It might look like a nice mumsy advert but behind it is a very determined large scale enterprise.

GG

I care. Yes, there's worse things in the world to worry about but if people are concerned about these adverts (which shouldn't be there) then fair play to them for doing something and taken a small burden off the council. Clearing them up, especially the estate agent boards, is good for the area.


ps not sure about the call to deface the adverts though, just remove them,

Southwark council says it receives around 100 complaints about graffiti every month. On its website it also advises that removing graffiti costs the UK over ?1 billion a year.


That's Council money that could have been spent on better services for the community.


Out of interest, the council will pay up to ?1,000 for info about repeat offenders.

Checked it. Only one board is allowed . It has five. Here is the appropriate section from the regs.


1. The regulations for estate agent boards........................................


Property owners or their agents have a right to display ?for sale? and ?to let? boards. The restrictions that apply to such boards are:


Not more than one advertisement, consisting of a single board or two joined boards, is permitted; and where more than one advertisement is displayed, the first to be displayed shall be taken to be the one permitted.

Not nice

Are you sure you want to incite people to deface property that does not belong to them Green Goose? I know an entertainment company that does this - and a new bike shop - and I think it's innovative and inoffensive. Plus I'm cyclist and even I don't care. What about Foxtons minis? How do you feel about them? They drive me nuts but I'm not going to trash them.

We have seen these bikes there 1 outside church east dulwich grove.

More Melbourne grove area,station area.

Glad you picked up on issue.

Ask James barber he can advise on here.

Defacing is wrong though.


Reporting if given advice is not within council remit for advertising.

Ok,was not clear having re read just saying support you raising issue bikes advert boards.


Having seen many around ed taking up valued bike locking stations.

Glad you raised issue.

Was suggesting you ask James barber local councillor often posts advice support on this forum and often knows ways to help with issues in local area.

Well spotted! There is a Mr D. O'Donnell who is spouse of Mrs J. O'Donnell who runs the business.

Sorry Green Goose, I don't find it at all offensive. I think this is really innovative advertising - caught my attention, in a very positive way. Why are you on such a personal vendetta against this woman trying to start her own business - I think she should be applauded. She's employing staff and contributing to the local economy. I just wish I could afford a cleaner myself!

Publically naming her is really inappropriate.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
