Seconds later a street warden approached hubby and said i have just seen you throw you cigaette over the fence so i am issuing you with a fixed fine. Hubby replied no you havn't and showed him the stub in his pocket. the warden replied thats not the one, i have it on camera. Hubby said show me you are mistaken.

    Unless there are details of an appeal process on the ticket, there is nothing you can do other than pay or not pay.
    What you have essentially is an invitation to pay, to avoid the hassle of a court case, where the penalty (if found guilty), could be much higher.

    You could write to the local authority disputing the FPN and ask to see the "evidence", but I don't believe they need to provide it at this stage.
