Waste Investigations Support and Enforcement penalty notices

Waste Investigations Support and Enforcement Ltd. issues fixed penalty notices in Luton for:

  • littering
  • dog fouling
  • public spaces protection order breaches

They can be contacted at: 

Email: luton@wasteenforcement.co.uk

Receiving an fixed penalty notice is not the same as receiving a criminal conviction. An fixed penalty notice is an alternative to going to court, but if you do not pay it on time it may be passed to the court system.

The notice will clearly state the payment deadline. Some fixed penalty notices are offered at a reduced rate if paid within 10 days. If an fixed penalty notice is issued by a partner agency, details of how to pay or get help will be printed on the notice.

Not paying your fixed penalty notice may result in a larger fine from the court and a criminal record.

Separate payment instructions apply to fixed penalty notices issued by Waste Investigations Support and Enforcement Ltd.
