Fixed Penalty Notices for littering, dog fouling and dumping rubbish

How to pay | How to appeal | Frequently asked questions

Important:

  • The penalty is set at £80 (for littering and dog fouling) and £400 for dumping rubbish.
  • The penalty must be paid within 14 days.
  • There is no discount for early payment.

If you pay the penalty, you cannot be convicted for the offence to which the Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) relates and no further action will be taken against you.

If the FPN is not paid, we will prosecute.

Appeals/representations

You can appeal to the council if you do not accept that you should pay any penalty or consider that you have not committed an offence. You must do so before the end of the 14 day period. We may cancel the FPN if there are grounds to believe that:

  • the fine was issued incorrectly;
  • there is insufficient evidence to proceed to court; or
  • it would not be in the public interest to proceed against a defendant.

If we do not agree to cancel the FPN, we will proceed to prosecution if it is not paid. It will then be up to the Court to decide whether or not an offence was committed and whether or not any penalty should be imposed.

The financial penalty imposed by the courts can be up to £2,500.
