How to apply to display banners and boards at designated sites

Across Adur, we have a number of designated sites that are available to commercial businesses and events, charitable groups and not-for-profit organisations for the display of banners and boards in the two-week period leading up to your event.

Banners and Display Boards are free of charge to all local Adur events arranged by a community group or a charity. If you are a CIC (Community Interest Company), you will be required to provide your company registration details. For all commercial events, including all events which require an admission ticket or entrance fee, there is a weekly charge of £20.00 plus VAT (£24.00) per week. Where applicable, if you are a charity, please provide your charity exemption certificate to ensure you are not charged VAT.

Banners and display boards must conform to the following:

No banner is to exceed 1.5 square metre or 2.5 metres in length, and 1 metre in depth
No display board to exceed 1 square metre (optimum dimensions for each site are displayed on the application form)
No banner or board to be installed more than two weeks prior to the event and it must be removed immediately afterwards
No return to the same pitch within two weeks of booking ending, except in exceptional circumstances
A banner or board must only be promoting a local event in the Adur and Worthing area
Each site has been surveyed to allow for a maximum number of banners/boards at any one time; this number cannot be exceeded

Applications must be received at least four weeks before the start of display (six weeks before the event), and will be considered with the following conditions:

All applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis
The applicant is responsible for ensuring that they have adequate and suitable public liability insurance, to a minimum of £5 million. A copy of the certificate will be required upon approval of application
The safe fixing and removal of banners or display boards is the responsibility of the applicant, once they have received notification of approval
Applicants must ensure that banners and boards are securely attached at all times
Each banner and board display site differs in size. It is the applicant's responsibility to check the dimensions of their designated site to achieve a secure fit with optimal presentation
Adur District Council reserve the right to remove any banner or board that is considered insecure, inappropriate or of a size in excess of that agreed
The positioning of any banner or board must not cause a conflict with any road users and road safety
Banners and boards must be removed immediately after the event. Late removals will incur an additional weekly charge to cover our costs for removal
A maximum display period of two weeks applies to all bookings. If the event is over a longer period, then we may be able to agree to a longer display period of up to 28 days maximum but only in exceptional circumstances
