Drivers could face fines for leaving engines running
Drivers who leave their engines running could be penalised with a fixed penalty fine of up to £300.
Nottingham City Council is planning a series of fines under 'quality of life' measures as the council aims to cut emissions by 10% by 2010.
The council plans to use its civilian community offices to hand out penalties for 'day to day annoyances', which also include abandoning a vehicle.
Taxi drivers who leave their engines running for more than three minutes will also be targeted.
