We consent the distribution of free printed matter to limit the amount of paper waste thrown on the pavement and pedestrianised areas.
If you distribute free printed matter and are not in possession of valid consent, you are liable to a fine of up to £2,500.
An offence is also committed if someone 'causes' another person to distribute free printed matter in a designated area without consent.
You do not need permission if the printed material is being distributed:
