After seeing a car parked on a footpath, forcing pedestrians into the road, our Enforcement Officers acted quickly.
Checks were carried out, and the registered keeper was issued a notice. Failing to provide the necessary details, they were prosecuted, resulting in a court fine.

What's your reason for quitting smoking this New Year?

Is it extra money, to be around for your children or to feel better?

Whatever the reason, there's never been a better time to quit.
