More than 200 fines dished out

The firm hired to tackle anti-social behaviour in South Holland handed out more than 200 fines in the first two months of this year.

The figures were revealed when a council member challenged if Kingdom workers were getting out enough in villages and outside of the towns.
Coun Michael Booth raised the matter at South Holland District Council recently.
“There’s more and more people complaining,” the ward member for Sutton Bridge said. “People are especially concerned about increased dog fouling.”
Councillor Anthony Casson, the portfolio holder for public protection, told councillors Kingdom was ‘doing a good job’.
He said that in January of this year there was a total of 115 fixed penalty notices issued of which 92 were for littering including spitting and 23 for fly-tipping.
In February there were 94 notices handed out, 84 for littering, eight fly-tipping and two for commercial and duty of care.
“Kingdom are doing a good job and do go out to towns and villages,” Coun Casson stated. “I’ve been out with them myself in Holbeach.
“On the way back they were going into Moulton.
“This week they’ve been to Donington, Long Sutton, several towns outside of Spalding.
“They go there a lot as that’s where the main footfall.
“You will see them in Spalding more than anywhere else but they are going out.
“If there’s a particular problem in a village let me know and I can get them to go out there.”
