Private enforcement agency employed by Welwyn Hatfield council issued fixed-penalty notice to Martin Fielder
A man who gave up his job to care for his young children when his wife died has been fined £500 and threatened with a criminal record after an envelope blew out of his bin.
Martin Fielder was sent a letter six weeks ago from District Enforcement, a private enforcement agency employed by Welwyn Hatfield borough council to issue fixed-penalty notices on commission. The company is paid a portion of the fines it issues.
