Two people have been fined £75 for urinating in public in North Somerset - as part of a crackdown on anti social behaviour.
North Somerset Council reviewed its Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) earlier this year, strengthening some and adding new ones.
A LACK of witnesses or evidence is to blame for an extremely low number of fly-tipping incident resulting in enforcement action, according to a council. Figures showed that in nearly 2,000 reported incidents of flytipping in the Barrow borough, fixed penalty notices were issued just four times. The figures refer to 2019/20 and showed and placed the borough behind the average for the whole of England for enforcement. Only 1.38 per cent of more than 975,000 incidents nationally resulted in fixed penalty notices. Fly-tipping incidents in the Barrow borough in that time included household waste being dumped near to Walney’s Avon Street allotments, which was later set alight.

UK drivers spend copious amounts of money on speeding fines every year, along with the penalty points on their licence that come with it.
Maureen Dowsett, of Derwent Road in Kempshott, braves all seasons to make sure the town stays tidy. Spotted at Stratton Park on Tuesday morning, the 83-year-old told The Gazette: I ve been doing this for over 49 years, come rain or shine. I ve got clothes for all the weather. The only time I don t come out is when it s icy and I get worried I might fall down. I ve got to get my daily dose of fresh air. It used to be all cigarettes and beer bottles - now it s all coffee cups and face masks. I used to walk two to three miles a day but now I try to keep it short, she said.
