Issue details

It is proposed that officers fully utilise fixed penalties notices both for littering and waste dumping offences. This means being able to serve a littering notice on all litter, including up to 2 bags of waste. These notices, served under Section 88 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. This would then give officers a range of fixed penalty notice powers to deal with any waste and litter ranging from £80 for a minor offence up to £400 for a much more serious deposit of waste. Built within this would be the early payment discounts as mentioned earlier.
