Abstract

These Regulations supplement provisions in Acts for fixed penalties payable in respect of offences relating to the environment. The Regulations prescribe the ranges within which the amounts of certain fixed penalties that are capable of being specified by a local authority are required to fall. They amend the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to England to increase the amount of the penalties for littering, free distribution of printed matter on designated land and graffiti and fly-posting where a local authority does not specify an amount.
