✍️ The UK government is planning to crack down on private firms that profit from issuing fines for littering and anti-social behaviour in England.
👉 Private firms are paid for each fixed penalty notice issued for littering and anti-social behaviour in England 👉 The government plans to ban fining for profit to help local authorities consistently and appropriately exercise their powers 👉 Outsourcing litter enforcement to private companies results in a high volume of fines for minor and borderline offences 👉 The current system lacks formal appeal rights and judicial scrutiny
