Dear Fenland District Council,
I would like to request the following data under the Freedom of Information Act 2000:
1. How many Fixed Penalty Notices has your council handed out in 2018 for the littering of cigarette butts?
2. How much is your FPN for littering cigarette butts?

Dear Naomi
I acknowledge your request for information received, which is being
investigated.
The Act allows the Council 20 working days to comply with your request.
During this time, the Council will assess the information to establish if
any exemptions apply. If it is felt that any information may be exempt
from disclosure, this will be given careful consideration and the Public
Interest Test will be applied if appropriate. If it is determined that
any material is exempt, you will be notified of which information is not
going to be released and the reasons why.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the Freedom of
Information Officer at Fenland District Council, or email [1][Fenland
District Council request email]. It would help us to help you if you
could quote the Information Request No, quoted above, on any
correspondence.
Yours sincerely
FOI Officer
