Thanks for the replies. The FPN is paid now as too much hassle
with the court proceedings.
The driver was waiting for someone and yes he did left the
engine running out of habit as he's a cab driver. We are well
aware of council enforcements on littering etc but this was the
first time on engine idle which came as a big surprise
considering it seems to be a kind of norm. I have the issue with
the way the FPN was handed. May be wrong interpretation on my
part but is it not the law that the FPN to be issued ONLY if
ignored the order from enforcement officer. So in this case, the
officers should first ask the driver to stop the engine and if
ignored, then issue the fine.

Don't know the reasonable time to leave engine idle.

Whether or not the correct procedure was followed is irrelevant
as you have paid the FPN anyway.

As Andy says it's now academic, but I very much doubt that an
FPN is a "community protection notice" for the purposes of the
legislation.
