I read with interest the article about how many fixed penalty notices (FPN) have been issued by the Fenland District Council enforcement teams in the four Fenland Towns.

I cannot comment on March, Whittlesey or Chatteris but being a Wisbechian I find it astounding that only 18 litter offences received a FPN in twelve months, that’s one and a half a month.

But even more astounded that no FPNs were issued for bad parking in the town. Can I ask how many Officers FDC has in their litter and car parking offence teams?

Can I also ask how often they patrol the streets of each Fenland Town?

Can I also ask that, if I capture either a litter or car parking offender on camera, I can receive a bounty of, say half the price of a FPN, as I would be doing the job of an FDC enforcement officer?

I suspect the answers to the above questions will be - not many, very seldom and no.

Hey ho, let the law abiding carry on putting their litter in bins and parking legitimately, whilst everyone else can do what they please.

Frustrated but law abider.
