Whilst at a Public meeting in Huyton, we became aware of a Pensioner being 'issued' a £70 fine for allegedly dropping a cigarette. Now whilst I do not agree with anyone dropping litter, I and members of the Public felt it to be way over the top to bully a pensioner and try to extort money from him, rather than asking him to simply pick it up.
Here's what happened.

ReplyDeleteI only know of 4 casesin Prescot. One my mother who is a pensioner with a broken arm who dropped a cigarette butt (& was followed out of Tesco by the 'inspector'). Another was a pensioner.. Another was a pensioner who was deaf. And the last one was a pensioner suffering from cancer, who didn't drop any litter but actually picked it up off the floor & was fined. How do they think pensioners can afford to pay £75. Well done Knowsley, really tackling the menace in our society!!
ReplyDeleteSeems that they are picking on the ones who are unlikely to fight back.
