The Council is responsible for the removal of flyposting in Oxford. We will make every effort to remove flyposting as soon as possible from sites we can treat. Flyposting on private property, such as empty shops, is the responsibility of the property owner. We work with property owners to try and address these problems.
We aim to remove flyposting from street furniture and public highways within seven working days of the report.
To report an incident of flyposting online, visit the Report a Fault section of our Local View website.
Alternatively, if you wish to report flyposting for removal from the public highway, please contact us using the details on the right of this page.
We have installed poster boards and drums throughout the city where people can legitimately put up their flyposters. These are located at the following sites:
| Location | Number of Boards/Drums |
| Headington Road | 3 |
| Gipsy Lane | 1 |
| Cheney Lane | 1 |
| Warneford Lane | 1 |
| James Wolfe Road | 1 |
| Crescent Road | 1 |
| Cowley Road | 2 drums |
| Manzil Way | 2 drums |
| Little Clarendon Street | 6 |
| Gloucester Green | 1 drum |
| Castle Street | 2 |
Some of these poster boards have been provided in partnership with Oxford Brookes University and local nightclubs. More details of their specific locations can be found below:
The Council is responsible for cleaning these boards.
Once a complaint of flyposting has been received, a City Works operative will visit the site. They will initial the flyposter, date and photograph it.
Enquiries will then be made as to who is responsible for the flyposting. Where possible, a notice is sent to person/organisation responsible advising them of the offence committed and requesting removal of advertisement. 48 hours notification is given in accordance with regulations.
A follow up site visit is made by our team after 48 hours. If the advertisement has been removed, no further action is taken. If the flyposting remains, a follow up letter is sent requesting an interview with the perpetrator advising them that they could be prosecuted. If evidence supports prosecution, legal proceedings will begin.
