Were you aware that Falkirk Council issues Fixed Penalty Notices (fines) in respect of litter, dog fouling and flytipping offences?

Falkirk Council operates a 'zero tolerance' policy to the offences of littering, dog fouling and flytipping. Witnessed offences result in a fine or referral for prosecution. Do you think this is the correct approach?

Following Scottish Executive guidance we do not presently issue fixed penalty notices to young people under 16 years of age. Please indicate the extent to which you agree or disagree with this approach.
