A five-year-old girl from north London was sent a £1,000 fine after her local council claimed she had been caught fly-tipping. Harrow Council’s new enforcement team APCOA sent a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) addressed to the young girl at her home on November 20, which bizarrely claimed that she was “witnessed by a uniformed officer…committing the offence of fly-tipping”. The young girl even received a letter from the council saying it was about to launch court proceedings against her. Her father has strongly denied that she deliberately fly-tipped, with the local authority forced to state that fining children “is not official council policy”. The girl’s father, who wishes to remain anonymous, described issuing fines to children as “absurd” and blamed the packaging ending up on the street on the “over-filled communal bins” at his block of flats.
