The City Council is satisfied that defacement of parts of the City are being caused by litter resulting from the distribution of free printed matter. It has therefore decided that from 15 September 2008, a consent will be needed for any person engaged in distribution in those parts of the City. A map showing the relevant areas of the City may be downloaded from the link below.  Any person who distributes free printed matter, without a consent, or causes another person to do so after the 15 September 2008 will be guilty of an offence.

 

Notes about the control of free printed matter may be downloaded from the link below. An application form for consent is also available below.

 

Applications must be accompanied by a fee of £100. If consent is granted, additional fees will be payable as set out on the application form.

 

There is a general presumption against the grant of consents to entertainment venues. These applications will therefore be referred to the Licensing committee for a decision.
