Responded  Tue 29 January 2019

Please can you tell me if the council:

a. has introduced an anti-idling fine - i.e. issuing of fixed penalty notices to drivers who leave their engines running when they are stationary, and not in traffic

b. when the fine was introduced

c. the maximum fine that can be handed out

d. on how many occasions the council has fined drivers who idle and the amount of fine given. Please include number of fines for each month and year e.g. March 2017 and make clear how many are repeat offenders

e. how many council staff enforce the anti-idling policy and how many volunteers are used, if any

Response

Hastings Borough Council does not have an anti-idling fine for motorist as the appropriate authority for the roads and highways is East Sussex County Council, please visit their website for further information: www.eastusssex.gov.uk
