Apply for consent to hand out printed material; this only applies within the city centre.

Free printed matter includes any newspaper, document, card, leaflet, flyer, pamphlet, sticker or any other material for which there is no charge to the recipient.

The map in the Downloads section defines Wolverhampton city centre.

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.
