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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      To be fair to Sue, she doesn't have to explain or justify why she supports or wants to vote for any party. That is the same for everyone. We are free to decide which party best reflects what we think is important to us. Discussing the stances/ policies of parties, in a general discussion, can be done without targetting anyone commenting here. Politics is just a point of view at the end of the day.  Different things are important to different people, often for very valid reasons. Let's be respectful of that.  My opinion is that if say the Labour Party wants to understand why it is losing supporters to the Greens, it needs to listen to and understand the reasons why. That theme has been explored in this thread a little through the discussion around councillor McAsh. The same is true of the Tories losing support to Reform and the Libdems. Let's not also assume that every member of every party is completely on board with every policy of the leadership of that party either. You only have to look at how backbenchers have forced u-turns from Starmer's cabinet on things like Welfare Reform and WFA to see that.

      As a compromise I'd be prepared to trial the reintroduction of dog licensing. The annual licence fee would be the same as road tax for Range Rover (same carbon emissions as a dog) and would require owners to pass a responsible dog ownership exam, the dogs would need to pass training and a behaviour exam and their DNA would need to be kept on record to identify the owners who leave dog shit all over the pavements, so that they can be jailed.

      Yeah  Ban people, that will solve all the planets environmental issues over night  Leave the dogs as they aren't the problem, its normally bad ownership and management that leads to badly behaved dogs. Spartacus  Ps Cat Rule

      Some people are all of the above. Would happily ban them, or send them to training school
