Camden secures ban against flyposter

The managing director of Britain's biggest rogue flyposting company has been served with an antisocial behaviour order.

In a historic ruling, Tim Horrox of Diabolical Liberties has been banned from arranging flyposting anywhere in Camden for the next two years. If he breaches the civil order he could be jailed for contempt of court.

Horrox said he is considering an appeal against the ruling.

It follows an Evening Standard undercover investigation into the firm, which generated income of almost ?8 million a year with illegal poster campaigns across the capital.

These included ads for the film Kill Bill Volume One and Dido's Life For Rent album.

Highbury Corner magistrates imposed the Asbo after the Labour council targeted Diabolical Liberties over " innumerable" complaints from residents.

Since the action, the council says fly-posting has fallen by 95 per cent across the borough.

The council also took action against three of Horrox's employees. James Heighway, Dominic Murphy - who have both since left the company - and Anna McAree gave undertakings not to arrange flyposting in the borough.
