A man has been fined £75 for fly-posting in Trostre Road, Llanelli.
He was issued with a fixed penalty notice by environmental enforcement officers for putting up the posters advertising a local business.
Executive Board Member for Environmental and Public Protection Cllr Jim Jones said: “Hopefully this will remind people that it is an offence to affix illegal advertisements to any structure on the highway and we will take action against those responsible.
“Not only do these posters make an area look untidy but if they are not removed they start to deteriorate, becoming even more unsightly and causing litter. They also have the potential to distract motorists which could lead to road traffic accidents.”
