<p>My Department has not undertaken any recent formal assessment of local planning authorities’ powers to deal with fly-posting. However, local authorities already have extensive powers under the advertisement control regime in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and through community protection notices in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 to tackle fly-posting. This includes the power to prosecute those responsible if they fail to comply with any enforcement action.</p>
