Enforcement Officers issue fines for various offences

Urinating in the street. Chucking litter out of a car window. Business waste dumped in the street.

Just three of the offences for which our Enforcement Officers have issued fines over the last week or so.

Our officers are out and about every day. Don't want to get a fine? Then don't commit the offence.

Here's the full rundown…

If you are having rubbish removed from your business or property, make sure the person or company you use is legitimate. You can do this via the Environment Agency website.
