Is anyone else really angry about the story on the radio news this morning that the London Borough of Hounslow has fined a lady from Feltham £1,000 for 'fly tipping' a cardboard envelope (with her name and address left on) outside her flat, on top of a pile of boxes, as there was no room for it in the overflowing bin? It is said they are doing this as an example and to crack down on fly tipping and they will not back down, even though the lady concerned can ill afford it, suffering as a result, and insisting the entire fine is paid in one go, as they do not offer payment plans. They have, however, given her a further 30 days to pay it (their generosity of spirit knows no bounds). It seems that they want to line their coffers from innocent individuals, while big companies get away with so much more. Absolutely dreadful and scary to say the least!
I would be interested to know how many users or companies have been fined for ebikes abandoned on pavements, sometimes in great numbers at a time, which block them and create further hazards for those of us who use them. None, I'm sure.
I do hope there will be further (peaceful) protest about this and the lady concerned is exonerated, rather than martyred. Meantime, always remove personal details from everything and shred them!
