The cost of the听FPN听is 拢200, with a discount of 拢80 for early payment, in line with other local authorities in Wales.
香港王中王最快开奖结果鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Streetscene and Countryside, Councillor Carolyn Thomas, said:
鈥淭he Council receives and investigates around 1,000 fly tipping reports every year. New legislation now gives all local authorities the power to deal with these incidents using an FPN, which will save time and money with no need to gather evidence and prepare court papers.听 It also allows offenders the opportunity to avoid prosecution.鈥�
The recognised standard period of 14 days for payment will apply and it is proposed that a reduced charge of 拢120 will be offered, if the Fixed Penalty Notice is paid within 10 days. Should the offender fail to make payment within the prescribed period, court proceedings will be issued.
