Always intrigues me this. Why pay £20 - 30 for a posy to be left at the road side to rot?
Far better as a memorial to donate the same amount to a favoured charity and help.
Also dont forget
PA (Environmental Protection Act 1990) Section 89 (1) Duty to keep land and highways clear of litter etc.
It shall be the duty of ……
(a) each local authority, as respects any relevant highway or, in Scotland, relevant road for which it is responsible, [i.e. local authorities are responsible for all roads other than those covered under (b)]
(b) the Secretary of State, as respects any trunk road which is a special road and any relevant highway or relevant road for which he is responsible, [ i.e.the Secretary of State for Transport is responsible for the network of motorways and strategic roads managed by the Highways Agency in England and Transport for Scotland]
EPA Section 87 and 88 – Dropping litter / Fixed Penalty Notices
It is an offence to drop litter in any place open to the air, including private land, and land covered by water. A person found guilty can be fined up to £2,500.
Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) may be issued by local authorities to people caught in the act. If paid on time the offender avoids facing a criminal prosecution.
