Littering Laws Affect Leaflet Distribution Sector

June 3rd, 2008 Posted in Marketing

A very effective leaflet distribution method is fast becoming hampered by over zealous local councils. Tough new littering laws have curbed the practice of handing out leaflets on the streets and at bus and tube stations to passers by.Companies wishing to conduct such a campaign now have to apply for a licence to do so from their local council. This has been common practice is all London boroughs for the past few years, but is now spreading throughout the country.

Companies who fail to obtain a license may face hefty fines if caught in light of the large cost to the tax payer for cleaning up your leaflets. Contact your local council to see if you are affected.
