main content Distributing free literature on the street

If you wish to hand out free leaflets or literature in one of our designated areas, you must apply for a licence and pay a daily fee of £25.  To apply for a licence, see our leaflet and application form, or contact us directly.

Details

The designated areas are:

• Bromley (High Street, Market Square, White Hart Slip)
• Orpington (High Street)
• Beckenham (High Street)
• Penge (High Street)
• West Wickham (High Street)

You will not need a licence if the content of your literature is political, charitable, religious or for non-commercial gain.

A fixed penalty notice (fine) may be issued to anyone who distributes free literature in a designated area without a licence.

Please note it is illegal to put up signs advertising businesses or events without property owner's consent, and our street cleansing contractor has standing instructions to remove fly-posters.  To display signs legally, you will need consent.
