APCOA & £1000 PCNs

Looking at the news article where a pensioner was threatened with jail and reduced to tears over a envelop in / near the wrong waste recycling bin, I was intrigued to learn that APCOA have wide plans to expand their activities in Hounslow in 2026 and will ,be issuing £1,000 fines to anyone, even 5 year olds who break their rules.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c047422e6y4ohttps://www.hounslow.gov.uk/news/article/10130/new-crackdown-on-fly-tipping-and-anti-social-behaviour-approvedNone of us like fly tippers but expect a 2-tier process where fly posters for various markets get away scot free, and anyone spilling a tea cup (or a lost letter) gets fined £1K.When do Reform get in?

Hopefully the enforcement officers will patrol around all the fast food joints where their pickings will be substantial.

Well the Greens do hate Israel so that will draw support from the local anti-semites. No hope there of anything positiveLBH language shows their utter contempt “We are sorry for the concern this caused the resident. The formal letter issued by our enforcement partner used standard legal wording similar to that used by councils nationally. It is intended to clearly set out the legal framework for the FPN, not to intimidate.“However, we recognise the language could have been clearer in this case and we are reviewing our enforcement letters to ensure they strike the right balance and avoid causing undue concern. Our enforcement partner, APCOA, have since apologised to the resident verbally and in writing.”Labour need booting out

Reform in Ealing and Hounslow, you're dreaming, biggest beneficiaries will be the Green Party.
