Wee won’t back down: English council stands by littering fines for wild peeing

Dacorum borough council in Hertfordshire says policy has legal basis after 88 fines draw criticism

A council in England has doubled down on the fining of people caught peeing in the countryside for littering, even after it emerged its own legal advice did not appear to fully support its stance.

There have been at least two cases of men handed 88 fines by Dacorum borough council in Hertfordshire after being caught in the act by council enforcers apparently lying in wait in laybys.
