Election Window Posters: How's your neighbourhood?

Labour canvassers at Dorking station yesterday. Working hard to retain their deposit!
 
Some seemingly unaligned individual/group has had a go at our local sitting MP

One Green one has gone up on our street. Doesn't look like it originated from the local Party but is an old nationally issued one that's been folded up in storage. Perhaps a die-hard Green member opposed to the de facto withdrawal that appears to have happened in this seat?
 
Thinking about it the only election posters I've seen in Shepherds Bush have been extinction rebellion ones, and not in windows, stuck on random flat surfaces in the street.
 
I live in one of the marginal seats - Croydon Central - but the only posters I have seen are on my house and in my garden. Labour. Admittedly, I don't get out much at the moment, and I live in part of the constituency that is strongly Labour so probably not targeted, but still a surprise/disappointment.
 
Finally seen my first sign with just a week to go, a yellow one of the LibDems (Not) Winning Here, considering they got less than 4% of the vote last time can't fault whoever it is on their optimism at least.
Mentioned it to Youngest who said she had seen it being put up as she walked home from the school bus, she said the homeowner seemed to be arguing with the guy putting up the sign. Reckons that the owner was complaining they wanted a blue one and sign guy telling him, he'd run out of those but he'd got plenty of yellow ones left.

Quite a lot of them, and they get replaced quickly when they're removed. I have seen SWP ones in the past in similar places, but not over the election.
 
Loads of those ^ XR posters all over Brighton. Only non-Green window posters I've seen in Pavilion so far have been for Bob Dobbs.

My mum's village outside Lewes is all Lib Dem orange everywhere but apparently someone's been going round tearing the signs down from outside people's houses.
 
Greens and Plaid have stood down in Montgomeryshire to help LibDems unseat a Conservative. Opposite retired army officer put up two Conservative signs. Retaliated with two LibDem! As a Plaid member want an Indy Wales linked closely to EU. Have a massive "Yes Cymru" flag to hang out of window on election day.
 
I went through the ferry terminal in Stranraer once. There was a big sign on the wall that read "no smoking, no drinking, no singing sectarian songs".

The terminal isn't at Stranraer any more, but it's still the same. Don't take that ferry when Rangers are playing at home.
 
Loads of lib dem stuff around here, a few Tory posters, no Labour that I've seen. It's been a safe as houses Tory seat for years

*Sigh
 
Currently in Watford. It's a Labour seat. LDs campaigning hard round here. I see Labour and LD boards outside people's houses, I'd say slightly more LD but feels closer to 50-50 than 60-40. Hardly any Tory ones. Wasn't here for council elections, but looking at results on council website, it was either LD win or Labour win for every ward.

Wasn't gonna vote, in part due to a nagging feeling that Corbyn is just seen as shit and unelectable to the vast majority of people, and in part due to his free broadband policy being pretty much guaranteed to make me unemployed, if put in place.

However, it really does seem quite close round here between Labour and LD, and I'm buggered if I'm playing into the LDs hands in any way whatsoever, so gonna traipse out on polling day and make my voice heard.
 
My constituency has been tory forever, apart from 1997, but this year I've seen way fewer tory signs and even a couple of labour ones. There was also this, which was not even me.
