Request

I am writing to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please could you provide the following information covering the period from 01 July 2025 to the present day, with a month-by-month breakdown of figures for July, August, September, and October 2025:

1.         The number of £200 fines issued by your local authority to individuals or businesses for breaches of the ban on single-use vapes that came into force on 01 June 2025.
2.         The total value of these fines issued to date within this timeframe.

If your authority has not issued any such fines during this period, I would be grateful if you could confirm this is the case.
