tosh · 25-05-2008, 17:29

a lady in denton manchester faces a heavy fine, she found a cat and put up posters to find the owner, but the town and country planing,(control of advertisements said she should have given them 28 days notice,

Quite funny really Tosh, however, can't have everyone sticking notices around our Boroughs at will.

Doubt whether this will lady will get fined at the end of the day; not set in stone of course...

would it not be classed as fly posting?

cashman · 25-05-2008, 18:37

dont really matter what its classed as, just another glaring example of the " System" gone nuts.

No, Cashy .. planning !!.. can't have every 'Tom, Dick and Harry' sticking posters everywhere !! All about keeping a district respectable .... etc., etc., etc. Just because is about a lady losing her cat (sad, I know and pulls at the heart strings) doesn't negate the fact that she shouldn't have done this !! The 'System' is working .. fact.

Don't know what type of poster you would have objection to.. but could be advert from anything from 'Gay Rights' >> 'Immigration problems' stuck on your garden wall/lampost. Would you feel the same ??

Don't be ridiculous Andrewb .. not about Politics .. just common sense .. !!!

She will probably not get fined at the end of the day, due to the context of her posts (sob, sob).... however, has to be noted as not acceptable as would encourage more postings in not so emotive subjects.

Ok .. will forgive you.. LOL. Difficult when looking through blue lenses all the time...

What about when the police put up a poster asking for witnesses to a crime or accident?

It is obvious we cant have people going round being sociably responsible, helpful and trying to help their neighbours. What is the world coming to?

Not sure Polly, but sure there is some law that by-passes Planning Permission here. Do they pin on trees though .. ?

What about When the council when they put up notices (often on lanp posts) about planning applications?
What about perspective councillors when they put up posters?

One law for them sand one for us?

I agree with Katex.

We can't have people pinning posters up willy nilly no matter what those posters may be concerning.

emamum · 25-05-2008, 20:29

what about the signs that say no fly posting?
