Following the news, the people of High Wycombe and the surrounding areas believe that the £30 fine is too low.

Chris Rochdale Fitton said: “In my opinion, if the child is under 16 and in a gathering with friends, it [the fine] should be given to their parents.

“As a parent, it’s still our responsibility to make sure our kids are safe and stay home.”

Julia Guildford agreed with Chris by saying: “The parents are responsible for their kids.

"Shouldn’t be letting them out in the first place.”

Richard Braiden then added: “[It’s] too low of a fine and raise it up like the French and start patrolling the A roads."

Asif Nasar said: “It should be a £500 quid fine. Used as a deterrent.

"The fear of loss definitely isn’t anywhere it needs to be.”

Noelle Wright said: “Wish it was more. I’m sure it will be very soon.”

Michaela Jane White believes that the fine is ‘too low’ and that they should be ‘higher so it’ll be less likely for people to break the rules.’
