The Big Brother Watch organisation has stepped in to help Vanessa Kelly in her fight against Sandwell Council over her £75 fine for feeding ducks at a local park.

The 26 year-old mother from Oldbury in the West Midlands, had been given a fixed penalty notice and fined £75 by a council warden for throwing bread to the ducks in her local park whilst visiting  with her 17-month-old son.

Alex Deane, Director of Big Brother Watch, said: “I am proud to be helping Miss Kelly in her fight against this ludicrous fine.

“Sandwell Council should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves – can there be a more absurd example of the Big Brother State in action?

“She will not pay, nor should she,” he said.
