Gary Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Interesting to see Warrington Council will be introducing this next year - if juveniles are given on the spot fines - will their parents be liable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Will these Litter Wardens be provided with Police protection?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Seems as though they will be part of a team, them and a PCSO. What about somebody who accidently and unknowingly drops some litter, won't they be given the chance to pick it up without a fine. I guess reasonableness won't form part of the process. Fortress Britain, criminals set free, CCTVs everywhere, litter fines....the list goes on...and on, how has it all got to this state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, maybe some will do it on purpose to get their parents into trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the grass verges covered on McD boxes. It's about time the parents and their children picked up the tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Can you report junk mailers and Political Parties for dumping litter through your letter box?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Settle Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Don'r see why not especially if you have a red door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Don't get it. What has the colour of your door got to do with anything? Just because the occupants are ignorant Poo or MU supporters doesn't mean they should be treated different to normal members of society.

Peter T Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Asperity, Geoff has been pushing pieces of paper through doors in the Padgate area. I think that is what the reference is. Whilst I think that litter-bugs need to be dealt with, I would have thought that the bigger Health and Safety problem that needed addressing was the drunkenness and violence that went on in town. That's more likely to keep people away, not the litter issue. And Geoff, the litter you refer to is probably dropped by the booze brigade.

Paul Kennedy Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 On the subject of fines, it seems that you can be fined less for beating somebody up. Funny old world. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 It really annoys me when people just drop litter wherever they feel like it without giving it a second thought but as Gary says what happens if a kiddie does it ????? I have brought mine up to respect the fact that litter goes in bins or is brought home and disposed of BUT if he rebells and is caught dropping litter I certainly wont be paying his pay his fine for him. So that leaves a tricky situation.... as he's rather young, still at school and not earning a wage how will he pay it?.... so will they lock him up or me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Or pay it and make the child do 50 pounds worth of work for it - so he/she knows the value of a 50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Will litter include the deposit of urine, spit and spew? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Over here the fines start at $200 - up to $5000 if you litter on a main Highway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Is it that time of year already? I was just thinking ?50 that's cheap and what's more, I'm sure the "fine" used to be much higher than that years ago. Hands up everyone that knows anyone who's been fined for speeding just last year. Now hands up anybody who knows anyone, anywhere that's ever been fined for dropping litter. Nah. I don't buy this story for one moment. I mean, it's just not that believable without the fairies.
