Dear Naomi

I refer to your Freedom of Information request to which I am now in a
position to respond. My response is outlined below along with your
questions for ease of reference.

1.  How many Fixed Penalty Notices has your council handed out in 2018 for
the littering of cigarette butts? One

2.  How much is your FPN for littering cigarette butts? £80 (£60 if paid
within 10 days of the date of issue of the FPN).

3.  How many FPN’s have not been paid within the allocated time frame, and
subsequently gone to court for littering cigarette butts in 2018? One –
the recipient of the FPN failed to pay the FPN and the matter was referred
for prosecution.

I hope this is of assistance and is sufficient to meet your requirements,
but if, for whatever reason you wish to get back to me, please feel free
to do so. In particular if you are unhappy with the information provided
or how your request was handled please let me know and I will explain how
you can request an internal review of our decision. 

Please quote FOI 19-311 in any further correspondence concerning this
request.

Regards

Senior Governance Officer & Deputy Monitoring Officer
