You know who the last person was to put up poster sites on Great Western Road? Hitler.

Probably.

Heh. On a related note, last time I was in Great Western road there were council-provided poster sites all over the shop. They didn’t exist when I wrote this post.

Well, if that’s the case it’s easy to report it:

Incidentally, this is quite interesting: Scottish Government guidelines on managing illegal fly-posting.

Roland, it’s a four year old article and reflects the situation at the time. I’ve absolutely no idea how the posting scene works now. That said:

> Does anyone have any idea who is behind legitimate company city centre posters?

They’ve got the same address as Diabolical Liberties, certainly, which suggests that Horroks is behind it – but I can’t find any indications that CCP is doing anything that isn’t above board. What is GCC “onto him” about?

> does anyone know how much these CANCELLED STICKERS are costing Glasgow taxpayers???

Less than flyposting firms are spending, I’d wager. Me, I’d like to see the council paste over posters with something nice rather than just cancelled stickers.

Does anyone have any idea who is behind legitimate company city centre posters?
let me tell you…
Its the same guy Tim Horroks who got served an ASBO for flyposting illegally all over London. trying to pull the wool over the eyes of both Glasgow and Edinburgh city councils.
But Glasgow City Council are already onto him.
