ILLEGAL posters appearing in a Ryedale town have prompted an angry response from local councillors.
Increasing numbers of fly-posters around Norton have been condemned as unsightly - and civic leaders are calling for action.
Town councillor Jim Kench claimed the problem was getting worse, with lampposts and telephone boxes regularly being plastered with posters.
"It has been brought to my attention that this is a very real problem around the area and it's about time something was done," he said.
"Years ago, someone was prosecuted in the town for illegally putting up posters. I think it's about time someone was made an example of again."
The town council is planning to write to Ryedale District Council, demanding that action is taken
