ALT Shoreditch with a huge digital billboard artist's impression with a KFC advertisment added to illustrate what it looks like with an ad running.
Success! This distracting and pointless digital adscreen, proposed for Stamford Hill, right opposite Stoke Newington Station, has been rejected permission on the grounds of public safety and detriment to the character of the area!
Thanks everyone who objected!

There are serious questions about forced labour in Shein's supply chains - and ongoing legal action against them - TfL should not be making money from companies with such opaque business practices promoting fast fashion.
👋 @noahvickers14 for picking up my letter to the Mayor
The London mayor has been urged to ban all advertising from fast-fashion giant Shein on Transport for London's network, amid concerns over the firm's human rights record.

BREAKING: ex BP CEO Lord John Browne disrupted on the day BP announced yearly profits of £7.9 billion 🤑🤑🤑
Lord Browne led BP for over a decade, throughout the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was hosted by Clifford Chance, one of the worst law firms for backing big oil 🤢 at QMU

If the United States is prepared to commit genocide in the Middle East to support Apartheid, how long before it's prepared to do it to support Apartheid in the US?

MUPIs are architectural devices designed to make advertising campaigns visible in public spaces. This one became makeshift shelter, a “home-made house,” which includes basic comfort, a window to the world, and a 4K TV on sale until the end of the month.

In a 2nd round of actions by Ad Break in Bristol they have added 'Skip Ad' buttons to nearly 50 adverts, and a splatter of paint to a giant digital screen.
"We never invited these messages that are damaging to us & the planet into our city, and we want them gone."

Advertising on our streets is often part of street furniture - See how many hidden ads you can spot on your school journey 👀 Get involved at adfreecities.org.uk/adspotte… #Adspotters
Just spotted another ad disguised as a phone box on the way to school this morning - once you start looking they are everywhere! #Adspotters

We all agree we shouldn’t be profiting from, or promoting weapons, cigarettes, or authoritarian regimes on @tfl – why is @MayorofLondon allowing fossil fuel ads to keep running in our city?
