Crouch End Lib Dem Councillor Ron Aitken has called for action to stamp out the fly posting of lurid red and yellow posters in and around Crouch End, which he describes as ‘an eyesore’.

The posters advertise the services of a removal firm and have been pasted to junction boxes, empty shop fronts and lampposts all over Crouch End and the surrounding area.

“I telephoned the owner of the company named on the posters and asked them if they knew that their posters were causing an eyesore and were a blight on Crouch End,” says Lib Dem councillor Ron Aitken.

“He promised to put a stop to it, but a week later the posters were still going up.Something needs to be done as, like graffiti, once fly posting becomes the norm the whole area will suffer. I will be calling on Haringey Council to take a lead in effective and swift action against the fly-posters.”
