This subject merits a separate thread and what better to start the ball rolling than with this serial offender:-


http://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t643/savedelhi/B1Edited_zpse6wl44fl.jpg


This is a novel approach but is none the less illegal as it contravenes one or more of the following items of legislation:-


Section 224(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

Section 132(1) of the Highways Act 1980

Sections 43-47 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003


The adverts are attached with tamper-proof screws to the frame of the bike which is in turn attached with a VERY heavy chain.


Apart from being illegal, these bikes deny cyclists the opportunity to secure their bikes at places such as railway stations, shopping area etc.


Any member of the public is fully entitled to deface or remove these adverts after reporting them to Southwark Council.


Happy hunting.

A useful thread GG as there is quite a lot of fly posting going on. It seems to go in waves - until Southwark stops it by taking action against the perps.


I think this Jane Jefferson one is hilarious because their slogan is "The only way is ethics".


How ethical is it to locate illegal adverts around all of South London. It is breaking the law and it blocks secure parking for bikes.

Cora,

This is a large operation with bikes parked outside stations all the way fro Balham to Blackheath! It might look like a nice mumsy advert but behind it is a very determined large scale enterprise.

I care. Yes, there's worse things in the world to worry about but if people are concerned about these adverts (which shouldn't be there) then fair play to them for doing something and taken a small burden off the council. Clearing them up, especially the estate agent boards, is good for the area.


ps not sure about the call to deface the adverts though, just remove them,

Southwark council says it receives around 100 complaints about graffiti every month. On its website it also advises that removing graffiti costs the UK over ?1 billion a year.


That's Council money that could have been spent on better services for the community.


Out of interest, the council will pay up to ?1,000 for info about repeat offenders.

Checked it. Only one board is allowed . It has five. Here is the appropriate section from the regs.


1. The regulations for estate agent boards........................................


Property owners or their agents have a right to display ?for sale? and ?to let? boards. The restrictions that apply to such boards are:


Not more than one advertisement, consisting of a single board or two joined boards, is permitted; and where more than one advertisement is displayed, the first to be displayed shall be taken to be the one permitted.

Not nice

Are you sure you want to incite people to deface property that does not belong to them Green Goose? I know an entertainment company that does this - and a new bike shop - and I think it's innovative and inoffensive. Plus I'm cyclist and even I don't care. What about Foxtons minis? How do you feel about them? They drive me nuts but I'm not going to trash them.

We have seen these bikes there 1 outside church east dulwich grove.

More Melbourne grove area,station area.

Glad you picked up on issue.

Ask James barber he can advise on here.

Defacing is wrong though.


Reporting if given advice is not within council remit for advertising.

Ok,was not clear having re read just saying support you raising issue bikes advert boards.


Having seen many around ed taking up valued bike locking stations.

Glad you raised issue.

Was suggesting you ask James barber local councillor often posts advice support on this forum and often knows ways to help with issues in local area.

Well spotted! There is a Mr D. O'Donnell who is spouse of Mrs J. O'Donnell who runs the business.

Sorry Green Goose, I don't find it at all offensive. I think this is really innovative advertising - caught my attention, in a very positive way. Why are you on such a personal vendetta against this woman trying to start her own business - I think she should be applauded. She's employing staff and contributing to the local economy. I just wish I could afford a cleaner myself!

Publically naming her is really inappropriate.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
