Fly-Posting
There is no formal definition of fly-posting. However, it is generally taken to be the display of advertising material on buildings and street furniture, such as lamp posts, without the consent of the owner.
The legislation surrounding a local authority's powers are complex, but the two methods of securing the removal of fly-posting is either a prosecution or the removal of the poster by the local authority. Other powers are available for example, under the Highways Act, but this is administered by East Sussex County Council.
