Permission to put up posters
If you want to display a poster, advert or sign in a public place, you must get permission first. We manage many public spaces, and putting up posters without approval is not allowed.
Where you need permission
You must contact our Planning Department if you want to:
- put up posters on land or property we own or maintain
- display advertising in public spaces such as streets, parks or community areas
If you want to put up posters on private land, you must still:
- get permission from the landowner
- get approval from the Planning Department
Other options
Before you apply, you may want to consider other ways to share your message. You could use:
- local newspapers
- shop windows
- library or community notice boards
These options are often quicker and may not need formal permission.
Election posters
Different rules apply to election advertising. If your poster relates to an election, separate arrangements are in place.
