Outdoor advertising like billboards and bus stops all too often promotes products that are harmful to us, like junk food, gambling, alcohol and high carbon products.

Making matters worse, research from Adfree Cities has found that outdoor advertising is disproportionately prevalent in more deprived areas, as measured by income and air pollution.

This is because of huge gaps in outdated UK planning legislation where local councils and residents have very little power to stop new adverts appearing on their streets or to take down those that already exist.

We need you to write to your MP asking them to pressure Angela Rayner, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, to make the changes we desperately need to address this inequality.

As the Government reform the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) this is the perfect opportunity to ensure that the health and economic impacts of advertising are considered in planning decisions, beyond road safety and visual amenity.
