• Two officers immediately issued the fine, despite Marsh's explanation and initial belief it was a joke.
• Local County Councillor Adrian Findley criticized the "excessive strictness," arguing it harms Skegness's tourism image and officers should use discretion.
• East Lindsey District Council stated officers only target environmental offenses, not specific groups or ages.
